IT makes sense that the admin building is in better shape as it was probaly the last building to be vacated

Sure beats some new mass produced monstrasety. It is amazing the level of craftsmanship in these buildings

This fixture may be part of an emergency lighting or safety circuit, in which case it is designed to always stay on. As long as there is power to the building it would be in operation. In responce to the question of longevity notice that it is a flourescent, which, particuallarly the type purchased for a large insttuion where cost is a factor, could be an extened life version.

So I geuss this means the utilites were all still turned on. That seems strange.

I can't believe how good a shape they appear to be in. I hope that at least one of these is saved for a musuem somewhere. While they do seem a little creepty to some these meant the difference between life and death for someone.

I think the bigger issue here is that most folks, myself included, would rather see them saved and preserved than smashed and rotted. It almost seems discrespectfull to all that passed through before to let them simply rot away

I was also thinking it was a ballroom and pherhaps a lecture hall of some sort.
