Won’t it be expensive to tear down the dilapidated hospital building?
The current West Park campus lacks appropriate space to construct a new school on site. Without additional property this would require the District to shuttle West Park students to the vacated Armand Larive School while their school is being torn down and replaced. This “shuttle” scenario would require the District to prolong the start of West Park project until 2011. Inflationary cost estimates to prolong the West Park project appear to outweigh the preliminary estimates to abate and demolish the old hospital complex.
