A Few of the Last Pictures of the Old Central School. Our Landing Party Territory. Lots of Memories in those Hallways. Imaginarium Theater.

 Hello Troops,

Now that the Space Center is operating at full steam in the new Central School, I thought now would be a good time to publish a series of photographs of the old Central School taken by Central's head custodian, Brandon Pace.  These photos were to be the the last detailed photos of the old building in all its glory.

I'm posting them here because most of the old Central School was truly a part of the Space Center.  Nearly every square inch of that building, including the roof, was used over the many years as ship sets and landing party destinations.  As you look at these parting photographs of the old school, think back on all the time you spent in those halls, rooms, and crawl spaces.  Do you have a fond memory sparked by looking at one of these photos?  Please share that memory with me.  SpaceCampUtah@gmail.com

A Look at our Old Central School in All Her Glory (The first in a series of posts).

The kindergarten hallway from the exit doors.  A great hallway for distant landing parties.

Admiral Schuler use to bring overnight camp landing parties down this hallway.  From here they would crawl on their bellies through the hallway back toward the Voyager.

The doorway to the boiler room.  This was the entrance to the school's spook allie for the 

Halloween Carnival.  In the Space Center's early days (1990's) we also took students down to the boiler room for landing parties. We never actually went into the boiler room, just down the spooky crawl spaces.

The staircase down to the boiler room.  Imagine a landing party late on a Friday night heading down these stairs for a rendezvous with destiny.

At the bottom of the stairway, our landing parties would make a left through this door and into the crawl space.

This was the crawl space. Awesome isn't it?  

One of the phantom staircases leading to nowhere from the boiler room.  These staircases

were part of the second Central School

Ah, the Fallout Shelter sign.

The hallway from the boys bathroom at the top of the ramp looking toward the school's 

parking lot.  How many times did you walk this hallway heading home from a mission?

This was another landing party stairway. This was the stairway leading to basement 

from the cafeteria's kitchen.  Bottom left was where the kitchen stored food.  We also used

it as Space Center storage.  To the right is the doorway that led to the Space Center's wood and metal shop.

To the right, the storage area directly under the kitchen

The old dumbwaiter leading up to the kitchen.

The crawlspace  under the kindergarten hallway.  This was also a part of the 

school's spook allie.  It was used extensively for landing parties back in the day.

"Watch out for the beam," we'd tell the campers.  Lots of bumped heads back then.

The Space Center's old wood and metal shop in the basement. This is where many of the set decorations were built back in the day.

And the last picture for this post, the hallway leading to the simulators from the kindergarten hall.
