This is not a high school, this is a bunker!!

I didn't believe my friend when he said that he heard of a high-school with only ONE window on the whole building, after all it was 3 am and I was drunk. I decided to search for it and we went there by foot.

He was right...there was only one large thing that we could call a window on the top! We kept looking around the establishment.

These little rectangulars are "windows". THEY CALLED THESE WINDOWS! Just to make it more prison-like, they reinforced the glass and put double grills on the lower windows. Each classrooms had 2 of them, so on this side there was 16 classrooms. On the top there was some damage that looked like someone threw a small molotov cocktail. Keep in mind that after this pic, there is no windows at all.

That was the courtyard and boy it's huge and filled with nothingness.

Now usually the back entrance would be for deliveries...not for this school. That school is so fucked up that this entrance is reserved for Paramedics/Ambulances!

Now we're back to the front-end. My pictures don't make it look huge but trust me, it is gigantic. You guys probably seen worst schools...but this for me, it takes the cake. Hell, even the school where I went to be a mechanic had huge windows everywhere! No kids should study in a bunker even if they aren't fortunate enough to get in a upper class school.

Yup! At Louis Joseph Papineau school to be more precise. The reviews aren't good. Filled with fights, gangs and 58% of dropouts in 2009. Kids that got refused in schools that I considered bad were sent there...

I couldn't find any "reviews".

Maybe I spoke too fast. Looks like it changed for the better since 2009. The reviews are mouth to ear kind of reviews. The medias seems to give it a good image now. There's still some violent incidents there and there but nothing too cray.

My school's got both - it's a school and behind it down the hill is an old WW2 bunker. That's filled with booze as it's now owned by a winery. Huehuehue.

I want to see pics! I wonder how a WW2 Bunker would look like.

This is wild! I wonder what the interior is like. I've seen some crappy schools in my day, but nothing compared to this.

BY THE POWERS OF GOOGLE MAPS, I SHALL DEMONSTRATINGS

This is the bunker below my school, you can see it behind those trees there. If you move along, you might be able to pick out the A/C units keeping the temperature steady in there.

Some more : on the left, you'll see a grey door in the slope. That's an entrance. Move down the road and see if you can spot any blocked up archways - those were entrances too.

At the other end of the same road, you'll find some more bunkers.

And if you explore all across this mountain's paths, you'll find remnants of military buildings, cannon posts and at the top, a relatively intact bunker. Just drop Google Street View man wherever you like and it's likely something will pop up!

This is amazing. There's no way to visit the bunker anymore right since it's a winery?

Also on the last link, I noticed the danger sign. What's so dangerous about the place?

Sadly not - the bunker turned wine cellar is now private property. You can walk past and around it though, just not inside.

The danger sign is probably because the area is in a state of neglect - crumbling walls and steps make it a bit rickety. Also, there's the slim possibility that you might still find unspent rounds or a very very slim possibility of an unexploded shell.

But the structure was built to withstand a good deal of shelling, so it'll be some time before it falls apart. People still use that area for war-games - I was up there a year or two ago and there were BB pellets absolutely everywhere. It's actually really easy to get up there because there's a youth hostel built on the bunker's grounds. One can take its shuttle bus service up to the top of the mountain.
