I've never really paid much attention to the Board of Ed. building, and to my eyes, it's not the most attractive building, but the idea of tearing down a perfectly good building really bothers me. Look at all the beautiful stone (is it marble? slate?) on the building. Think of all the materials that went into the building that would just be wasted. It's horrible.
Tearing down a building and building a new one just because you don't like how the original one looks, or because it's easier for you to do instead of updating the original one is pretty low when you're asking for tax payer money to do it. Any steps which McMaster has taken to be "green" would be completely erased by the environmental impact of tearing down and disposing of such a large building, gouging the earth for more materials and then shipping in new materials for a new one.
