where is Lee moving? Leak it here!

Perry was probably "promised" to Lee based on the assumption that LAMB would be out and be at Walter Reed or elsewhere. The development of Walter Reed hit a snafu, which slowed things down, so Perry is now off the table. I was told a couple years ago that the building was Perry--an admin let it slip as I have written many times before in this forum. As for the last place back up space, it is probably Tree of Life but I really dont have a clue as I am just jumping on the bandwagon that people here started re: Tree of Life.

I doubt that it's tree of life given the administration's comments regarding the proximity of the site to the current location. I mention this in the hope that the other folks don't get upset about it all over again. I also really doubt the administrative folks would do something like that because it seems so out of character.

LAMB family here - LAMB hasn't ever given an indication that they would be out of there by next year, nor has that been a belief since the time the school opened 3 years ago. No one talks about Perry location closing next year. The hope almost from the beginning was that the Walter Reed building would open in 2017 (very early hopes were 2016 but that was long ago dashed). I doubt that this could have been the location Lee thinks it would be getting. And, as has been said before, the Administration has an interest in keeping the Perry building even after Walter Reed opens. Lee may have hoped for a different portion of the Perry building, but I doubt it was the space LAMB is currently in.

I'm certain Perry st prep was never the building Lee was considering.

Me too. At least the one person who keeps bringing it up, owns it.

Different LAMB family here. I second this post. I heard as recently as this fall that LAMB was looking to lease even more space from Perry St Prep.

Agree. Didn't LAMB just spend millions in renovations at Perry Street? Why would they do that if it was their intent to only stay 2 years?

Nowhere near millions. Put in a playground for $50K-ish. Rest was cosmetic stuff.

It's a really lovely lovely school building. It's a shame they don't get access to the Perry St prep playground too, but it is really nice inside and outside.

Does Perry St Prep own the building?

At least. This is from that link (nice find, by the way!):

"The scope of work consists of minor repartitioning new finishes and full mep upgrades"

MEP means mechanical, electrical, plumbing. Major upgrades to any of those systems is into the high hundreds of thousands, easily. But it would be understandable that that work isn't visible to parents, as it's all (literally) behind the walls.

Thanks. Also: Replace rear stairs with new stairs and ada accessible ramp to the annebuilding occupied by lamb pcs and create 1 parking spots off of the rear alley.

And that's not counting the actual aesthetic work done as permits are not required.

It's not clear that LAMB paid for all this work, however.
