Here's a suggestion: a place that is publicly-accessible, but is under
threat of being demolished. It's Achill Henge, a modern copy of much of
Stonehenge but built on Achill Island, off the west coast of Ireland.
See Wikipedia and also

I'm told the sound inside the ring is very interesting.
Achill Henge was built without planning permission in 2011. Mayo County
Council have made various attempts to have the developer remove it and
reinstate the site; but local sentiment seems to be in favour of leaving
it, and maybe even letting him complete it! The actual henge is built in
a slight depression in the hilltop; it is not generally visible except
from higher up on an adjacent hill

Hi All,
When you think about it there's a whole bunch of places, some
perhaps of less overall importance to human progress, but
never-the-less exciting and interesting. How about someone in the
states approaching one of the museums with space shuttles in to get
IR's from the crew cabin/payload bay? Or maybe inside the rocket
nozzles of a Saturn rocket? Or, how about trying to persuade someone
to take a Tetramic and recorder up to the ISS? Inside the bridge deck
of the Milau Bridge? We already recorded in the Humber Bridge - but
not proper IR's so I'm thinking of going back to do it sometime.
There's been quite a few measurements of prehistoric sites - but not
many publicly accessible (any?) ones of modern sites of importance.
Get thinking, folks!

So even if in purely acoustic terms the sounds are comparable with those in
many similar industrial spaces, it is clear that the fact of their source
will be highly significant to many composers. Whether dark matter has the
same cachet as the quest for the Higgs only time will tell, but I hope once
the IRs are available, they will encourage many who may not previously have
considered surround to explore the possibilities. And it goes without saying
that I will be asking Gran Sasso researchers for some data to sonify at the
earliest opportunity.
So now may be a good time to dust off all those first-order panners and
convolvers (especially the more accessible "plugin" ones), in case a whole
lot of new users (possibly also new to Ambisonics) suddenly appear!

Hello all,
Yesterday (friday 15/02/2013) David Monacchi and I visited LNGS, the
Gran Sasso nuclear physics laboratory [1] and recorded some acoustic
impulse responses of the spaces in which the Darkside50 experiment is
currently being installed.
