    You can see an EVGA 750w G3 PSU box at 4:42 in the video, that's a product which launched in 2016. So the place probably wasn't abandoned in 2013 yet.

    So, it's not really "abandoned" if it's in a populated building, it's just an unused office/class/lab that's being used for storage. Some pretty cool gear though. The darkroom is awesome and there's some sweet computer stuff that I'd love to have.

    This is another reason that the cost of college pisses me off: All this tremendous waste. You see it on every campus.. Things just left to rot. Those computers, while old, are still useable, the furniture and other equipment are all still useable as well, aside from maybe the CRTs I saw. Desks, chairs, testing equipment, etc are all very expensive, and universities just keep buying new and then extort students to cover the wasteful spending.. It's like a microcosm of our government. Just annoying as hell.
    I saw a video a couple months back of an abandoned high school in an urban area -- the paint was peeling off the walls and it had been abandoned years before... Yet in there were a couple of baby grand pianos just left there.. Tens of thousands of dollars left to rot instead of being transported to another school.
    Our universities and schools are just so so wasteful!

      As much as I think it is a waste of electronics I don't steal from places, and especially not from my university. However, I'm also not sure these macs worked correctly I think it may have been partially a computer repair area.
      Also trust me when I saw this is not the worst waste of money I've seen here. They have spent more on weather vanes than on the combined cost of these macs.

    That's such a shame!! I legit would have taken those Macs out of there and brought them home! I mean you just can't leave iMacs to rot in an abandoned building regardless of their release date! These iMacs are STUPID easy to upgrade, especially the pre-2012 (thick) ones! The glass is held in by magnets, you have 8 screws to take off to remove the display and EVERYTHING can be upgraded! Even the CPU was socketed in these and with a compatible GPU (which can also be upgraded if needed), you can run macOS Catalina on any early-2008 or newer iMac with a patcher!...

    Tbh, this equipment even today is worth a lot of money. I wonder if something has changes after last time you have been there. Maybe someday you would revisit the location to see if something Has changed. I find it really wierd that, no one was there since roughly 2013 but the whole building isn't abandoned either.
    If you will ever comeback, grab some stuff for me will ya? xD.
    Have a great day and continue awesome content :)

    My guess: The last occupants of these offices were relocated, presumably to the newest building on campus. The school used this section as general storage and presumably a repair shop for the computer department staff. All the computer hardware seen in this video were likely not working or salvaged for parts to serve currently working machines in the classrooms, labs, library workstations, and such.

      The description answers that question. But the offices are indeed abandoned but the rest of the building is still in use. They stopped using it in 2013 is my guesstimate
