Hi, I'm new here (though I've lurked for a while). Ali (Alir147) has been suggesting I join this forum for ages, so I've finally done it. I'm at work with absolutely nothing to do, so I'm going to post a couple of reports.
Some friends and I made 3 visits to BP's North Sea Headquarters in Aberdeen about a month ago. A week before, we had been driving past when one of us (the non urbexing one) announces "Oh yeah, that building is empty". You can imagine our reaction. My friend Mole already wrote a report with his photos, which you can find here: http://www.urbexforums.co.uk/showthr...rters-Aberdeen
Out of the 3 visits made, I was fortunate enough to be the only one present for all 3. Don't want to overlap the images Mole took, so I'll be deliberately posting things he didn't (or at least different angles).
For those of you who don't know, this is what the building looks like from the outside at the back. Every building you can see in this photo is part of it.
We first made our way down a tunnel we'd scoped out the week before, where we had found an open door. We hadn't checked inside the door, but it turns out it's just a small basement. Still, it's quite a cool basement, lots of pipes and stuff.
After panicking slightly, because we were in the middle of a busy industrial estate, we went back outside, down the tunnel, and all the way around the building to the front, where we found another way in (this place was not remotely secure at the time). The first thing of interest we found was a small room containing 2 server stacks, still fully equipped.
While the ground floor was totally and utterly trashed (and I mean really seriously trashed), the upper floors were reasonably intact. This was the top floor I think.
While going down a corridor, I happened to open a cupboard door that looked just like any other, except that this one had a ladder going up through the roof and into darkness. We scaled the ladder and found this. This area is where the big red generator Mole posted in the other thread was located.
In the fourth building along, we found a rather cool cinema style setup. The floor plan we found had lots of comfy looking seats set out in front of it. Must have been nice.
The kitchen/dining area was very nice. Big open space, where tables and chairs used to be set out for the staff.
This room was located behind the kitchen.
Finally, we headed to the building labelled "Labs". Sadly, it turned out to be not nearly as interested as it sounded. Lots of nice wooden flooring and stuff, but otherwise completely empty.
On our way out we passed by what looked like a storage room.
And then we were gone.
