[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear there is a bidding war. It is Between BIM, which has outgrown its Tysons office building and the peripatetic Feynman school. 
(:-)[/quote]

What is BIM? And is Feynman an elementary too? It is a pretty spacious property - we drove by the other day, and I wondered what Sidwell is planning for it. Sounds like the move is 28/29?  Why'd they sit on [b]Washington Home for so long[/b]? It's almost a decade, wow.[/quote]

Sidwell has been using the Washington Home building for years.  It was very helpful to spread out kids/classes during COVID. Many staff have offices in that building. They hold events there. Admissions used it this year for in-person student sessions. It's not just "sitting".[/quote]

OMG. This is a crazy pants post.  It's been a big costly white elephant for a decade already. There was no real need for any of that space over the past decade. I just look at it and think of how much of my tuition money has gone into paying the interest and maintenance for that building,  rather than into my kids' education.  All to try to keep up with GDS,  I guess. 
I'm not betting on a  2026 opening either btw.[/quote]

It's a crazy pants post to let someone know the building isn't sitting empty unused?  And that it provided excellent space to allow social distancing options to get students back on campus?  Okay....[/quote]
