The end of this room has a newer-construction brick wall about four layers thick. My friends put endless hours into poking a hole in it with a 20 pound sledge but to no avail. They believe it leads to tunnels but I've seen the blueprints to Byberry and they show nothing in that area. I think it was a loading dock due to the dozens of forklift pallets (now bridging the black hallway) and the flat ground outside of the building where it's located.

Thanks... nah I didn't mess with the colors or use a filter. It might be sunlight filtered through the vegetation on the windows.

Awesome shot. The green hue puts it over the top!

This looks like the corridor of the crumbling, decaying space station in the original Russian version of the "Solaris" film. Strange that decay and abandonment are so visually and philosophically fascinating.

It's on the southern end of W-5, at ground level. If you were to turn 90 degrees right, you'd be at the start of the black hallway (tunnel) leading to W-3.

Man I can't say enough times. Thank You for these photos! I'm only 28 now but my friends and I before we were invited to pro-circuit paintball used to jam some serious ball within these walls. Looking at all these photos, bring back MANY memories of good times! Thank you again for this gallery!

FYI, the first floors of the N and W buildings are the ground floors, but technically, they're the building's basements. In W-3 (morgue), the "first floor" is actually the basement and the "basement" where the black hally connects to is the SUB-basement.

Mmm, very organic. Almost a watery feel. This photograph makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
