[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The current renovation for Ellington is $130m. Dunbary was $120m and built from scratch for a capacity of ~1200.  Why would putting Ellington facility for ~600 at Shaw MS or Garnet-Patterson cost so much more?[/quote]

Looking at the renovation already underway answers your question.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fcd4hTLEGQg

I don't go to the school or have any plans to do so.  But even from the outside and having no dog in the fight, this tiresome refrain looks entitled, chauvinistic and an ugly reminder of uglier times.  Please stop.[/quote]

For the record, it is not underway. It can be stopped.[/quote]

The award has been made, the plans set and groundbreaking is weeks away.  http://dgs.dc.gov/page/dgs-duke-ellington-school-for-the-arts-modernization-project

Only selfish, small-minded people want to stop it.[/quote]

PP I don't think you follow me -- I think idea is great, but is has not broken ground yet, so there is always a chance it might be stopped.[/quote]
