[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The timeline is that they start the remodeling the day after school ends next year, so June 2016 and it will take 18 - 24 months from that point.  Any changes to the proposed design that would require approval from the Historical Preservation Review Board would add another 9 - 12 months to secure and would bring the schedule to a halt (likely losing all the funding in the process.)

The GSA guy was so good at the last meeting and he was certainly off at this one.

This meeting was an opportunity for people to comment on the plans that they sent around.  Comments focused on playground space and why they didn't dig down or up.  The architects are supposed to take all these comments and go back to the plans and try and incorporate them to be presented at the next meeting.

What they will hopefully also bring back are responses with costs attached so people can make informed decisions..."oh, so it will cost $15 million dollars to add a third floor, in that case lets have/not have a third floor"

The part that amazed me were the people from the neighborhood who want to delay the remodel for years because they don't feel that the neighbors have been informed or made aware of the renovations.  They were SHOCKED to find out that a renovation was being planned.

Random question: did you mean DGS (District government landholder and construction manager) guy and not GSA (federal government landholder and construction manager)?  Or is there some federal component to the renovation?  Serious question because the Feds have control over a lot of DC land that really isn't of a Federal scope.  [/quote]
