The sub-floor under the planks was pretty solid. All the buildings at Norwich seemed pretty solid floor-wise, with the exception of Awl (the building North of administration), which was pretty spongy.

That theater is HUGE! The seats appear to be in relatively good condition. Awesome shot Motts.

Straw on the floor could mean this building was used for firefighter training at some point. Plus I see heat blistering/charring on the walls.
