[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The $178 million is going not just to the building renovation on R street but a portion was used to renovate the two swing space buildings.  They were old buildings that were not ready to house an academic high school and arts program.  No internet and wi-fi at the academic building, as an example-- every high school needs that.  They didn't have the right portable classrooms there for science labs.  The auditorium in the arts building down the street (where the ceiling has now caved in on the third floor) was terrible and not fit for performances of any kind.

Once Ellington moves out of these now renovated swing spaces other schools will occupy them.  [/quote]

Wait, Ellington renovated an auditorium in swing space?  Why didn't they just use another school's auditorium for productions and save the money?  And wi-fi didn't cost $178 million.  It didn't even cost 1/10000th of that!

And it's no longer $178M -- the latest estimates are close to $210M.

Truly the MarionBar-ry School of the Arts and Grafts![/quote]
