[quote=Anonymous]One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is that this building is way too big for what Lab needs. The building is 17,000 square feet, it has zoning approval for 200 students but that's probably pushing it, 170 would be comfortable. Lab currently has about 75 kids there, one of the selling points to their neighbors is that they will keep enrollment under 80. What Lab really needs is a building in the 7500-8,000 SF range. There are lots of buildings in that size range nearby. If the city really wants to do a give-away to Lab, everyone would be better off if they just bought a smaller building and gave it to them, and used the Hardy building for a public school. With an enrollment of only 75 to 80 students, of which "almost 21%" are from DCPS, that building is only serving 15 or 16 DCPS students. If it were recommissioned as a public school and updated it could serve 400.[/quote]
