Science Lab Decay
In another portion of the abandoned school in Pine Grove Louisiana we found one classroom that still resembled it's original functioning design. The Science Lab. Valve mounts on the desktops for gas tubes that can connect to bunsen burners, small wash sinks on each island/workspace for cleaning up or rescuing the incidental burn moment. It was a surreal site to see.
Books still littered the lab, some open on the table tops to pages of experiments and exercises published around 1982. All the jars, bottles, and beakers still present had cultivated a white milky film making all the glass look frosted. Part of me wanted to take one, it filtered light so well, but the reality is it's probably toxic and the boy in me was squelched by the voice of a current father who wouldn't dare let my own children play with it, so my inner child gets corrected as well.
Ultimately this room made me think about post-apocalyptic movie scenes of the future. Is this what a classroom would look like months after someone dropped the nuclear bomb hundreds of miles away? I hope no one ever has to know that, again.
