Entrance

This site is still visible on Google Maps but can also be found with the coordinates 42.947797, -88.15724.  Many people enter through the door around back, which is frequently sealed by police and then re-opened by trespassers. 

Navigating the inside

There are three floors. When you first walk in, you can either go up the stairs or down the hall to a door. This first door doesn't open—it leads to the basement where a local group practices some kind of service around a massive upside-down cross, which you can see through the door window.

The staircase should take you to the rest of the school. There is a gym, two levels of classrooms, a cafeteria, and many hallways. Take caution to limit your time inside due to the threat of asbestos.
