[quote=Anonymous]when I read the post on Murch's website I was really confused. if the NPS is going to veto any construction on the land it owns (hill, playground and area where the Kaufman building is), if the DC Historic Preservation Review Board is going to veto any change to the main building, then how the heck is the school going to be renovated in a way that can accommodate the children? the only way would be to go underground, building a nice one or two floors underground, no windows, artificial lights, really great.  I am all for historic preservation but come on, this is just a red brick building built in the 20's of last century, not the coliseum. the rationale (we preserve because it is the only school of that era that has not been changed) is frankly insulting - because your school is the only one that has never been renovated, now we force you to keep it like this (while the ones that got renovations in the past can keep renovating). also, the   NPS would veto any building on the site of the Kaufman wing? so we can have a decade old "temporary" building there but not a real, renovated building?
