Once again another solo mission, but a fun and rewarding one
History:
Struggled to find much on the background of this building, as it isn't the most well-known in the town.
'The 500 building was a well-run and popular office block close to the town of Milton Keynes.' It held many businesses throughout its various multi-story offices.
The building also won an award for the 'Business of the year' in 2006.
How the tables have turned since!
(This was the building in 2020, I forgot to get a shot of the exterior)
The building closed for good last year and plans were released to redevelop it into apartments as part of the 'MK gateway' redevelopment scheme.
I think they forgot about it since ๐
The explore:
Access into the site was very easy. Some locals showed me their entry and even gave me a small tour before leaving me inside to explore.
I must admit I was expecting the building to be a little bit more intact than it was, but it was still a decent explore nonetheless.
No security measures at all were most likely the reason to blame. Cameras positioned all around the outside didn't function and no security showed up, despite me being here for around an hour.
A large number of kids came in and out when I was photographing, purely to smash up the place even more, so no wonder it's in the current condition,
The central area

Moving onto the offices, stripped completely
Getting further up onto the top floor...
Hardly found any intact windows during the explore
Onto the roof, which was untouched from the vandalism, so maybe I was the first to discover it?
