It's a shame they've dropped the plans to tear down the Terrace building and the Annex, but this is a step in the right direction. The extra green space will be nice. It's a beautiful building.

Good to see it's going to be renovated rather than torn down.

Sounds much better than tearing it down and replacing it with some glass and brass monstrousity.

I walk by that building a couple times a week. It's quite impressive, and always hoped they would refurb it.

Someone took a lot of time on carving the detail into the building, and it would have been a shame to tear it down.

I don't think tearing that monstrosity Annex is completely off the table Hurley. At least, that is the scuttlebutt I'm hearing. No one likes it, and it's just ugly and useless.
