For an organization that already owns a remarkable inventory of architect-designed structures around the city, it's pretty damning that the first and only vision the HWDSB has for any of them is to demolish, or sell to demolish. Yes, there are a few examples of adaptive re-use by enlightened developers (Allenby Lofts, Stinson condos), but the Board seemingly never considers adaptive re-use for themselves.

When I asked Board officials at their Open House why they didn't consider adaptive re-use of the Crestwood School, they said it was in bad shape. They might be correct, but they are the original and current owners. What does that tell you about stewardship? What does tearing it down say about the Board's environmental stewardship?
