My point was if tables and chairs for a new school cost a million dollars, retrofitting the building is going to cost more than $2.4M.

Do you know what the final budget was to redo Dorothy Hamm? Keep in mind that H-B Woodlawn was there for 40 years, functioning as a middle and high school with a full complement of programs serving 700 students (not even counting the Shriver program). APS spent [b]$40 million[/b] to renovate and expand the existing building so that it could be a middle school that now enrolls....800 students. [/quote]
They essentially built a NEW 1/3 of the school. So yeah retrofitting existing office space for $10M would have been easy.

Why are you just counting one year of interest?  We are paying that debt for 30...[/quote]

Why do people complain about the spending at The Heights and not Dorothy Hamm? They spent $100M in Rosslyn and got a new building for 775 students. They spent $40M in Cherrydale and got 100 seats. Um..........[/quote]
