Oakbank School in Aberdeen was closed a couple of years ago and was as far as i am led to believe was sold recently for 7 Million. Although parts of the main building ARE still in use, many of the annex buildings are not. Security does look tight tho so i wasn't about to start climbing drain pipes.

Cool!
Nice to see a bit of it :)
I drove my car in a while back and when I went to turn in a car park, 2 cars followed me out, so never went back!!
 
Folks should be aware that there is a constant presence on site, so entry isn't possible.

And whilst the caretaking staff are very nice people, they do take their job very seriously. They do it so well, the interior is absolutely pristine.

This is one of the few places I'm more than happy to see off limits to exploration.

Well, at least until the day that demolition is announced anyway. :D

precisely the reason why i said parts are still in use. As far as i am aware, The main building is at very lease B listed which would mean demolition would be off the cards.
Unauthorized entry to most parts would be considered Breaking and Entering, and Attempted Theft.
I hope this clarifies things. :mrgreen:
 
As we all know, just because a building has listed status, doesn't mean that it won't be demo'd. A couple of places spring immediately to mind, where money talks. (Allegedly ;))

There were originally plans lodged to demo and build offices. Now it appears that the purchasers want to build at least 4 houses. Oh, looky... here's one such application:

Note existing building to be demolished, as per warrant ref. B091853 :icon_evil

How long before the rest is redeveloped? Hmm

You do have a point, Marshall college's current state springs to my mind.
 
Ii can say that it is very likely oakbank WILL be demolished.
 
Hopefully the poster sees this and can send me them or post them again. Staff are having a reunion. So would be cool to be able to add them in with rest we have.
