While it is wonderful to be on the river and have some of those views, they sorely need a new building. I worked there for a few years, and in the wintertime the boilers kept breaking down and there seemed to be no insulation in the place (windows, etc.) to speak of. It was actually very cold in there, in my own experience, even when wearing layers and layers and layers of clothing and socks. Agreed, there are many vacant buildings downtown they should consider before going to the great expense and wait of building new. Something else to consider; their Accounting office is downtown in the old Technical High School - would they want something large enough to accommodate the entire DCPS administration system under the same roof? How insulated is the old Armory building, downtown? What about the (soon to be) old JEA building...what other buildings do you think might be a good space for them?
