Abandoned Bell Labs headquarters



Bell Labs had a huge office complex covering more than 472 acres with more than 2 million square feet of office and laboratory space.

It has been vacant since 2007.  Two of the buildings suffered extensive water damage in October 2012.  A developer was seeking to rezone the land as residential, tear it down and build homes, but this was cancelled due to public outcry.  It has now been labeled an "Endangered Historic Site".  It will likely sit empty for the next 50 years or so until it is finally demolished.
