Repurposing Abandonements

As an urban explorer I sometimes have mixed feelings when I see abandoned locations being repurposed.  I am sad to see a location be no longer available for exploration.  On the other hand, I am glad to see the location be preserved and actually be used again instead of completely deteriorating.

Such a scenario is in the process of unfolding at an abandoned veterinary school I visited on my last trip to Europe.  The photograph below is from a classroom within a complex of buildings that's being repurposed into a residential community.  This particular building is the last building that can still be considered abandoned, the others have been renovated and repurposed already.  Maybe one day I will be able to visit this site and see how it presents itself as a residential space.  Very cool.
