Old school....literally

What the place looks like today

I'll admit that this post really falls under obscure unhelpful trivia, but it's something that was a part of my childhood, as I grew up not too far from there. 257 Longford Drive in South San Francisco used to be the Serra Vista Elementary School which closed in June of 1992. The place had been operating as a school for decades, most recently as an elementary school before it's closure, which was a fairly large facility. What was particularly memorable to me as kid is that I was around when it was closed and I remember the dumpsters being full of interesting and cool stuff like encyclopedias, musical instruments, and all sorts of other goodies, that we all had to liberate from their otherwise discarded fate.

Nowadays the place is known as Unitek College's South San Francisco Campus, and they provide courses for Nursing, Medical Assistant, and Dental Assisting Training. Their site states that the facility takes up more than 7,000 square feet and is comprised of 5 classrooms (two also serve as skills labs and computer centers), a small medical library, student lounge, administrative offices, faculty offices, and an admissions/financial aid office.
