Makes me kind of sad. I went all 8 years in that Building. When they replaced it, it was time. I am sure the Heating and Cooling and Lighting were way out of date and all of it needed replacing. The new Facility, looks really Great and Modern and is no doubt better in every way.

So, are they going to clean up the site and leave it that way.

Or, did the folks tearing it down have a use for the land in mind?

Thanks so much for those photos.

I haven't heard what they're going to do with the land once the building is down.

And, yes, they are going to tear the entire building down. There's still some salvage work to be done. There's been no rush, just steady progress when everyone has extra time.

There have already been a couple of big fires as they burn debris, along with stuff that's been hauled away (trash and treasures).

Some more destruction at the old school today. Here are my two latest pictures.
