Except for a section at the back that they were persuaded to preserve, no?
Yeah near the back entrance. Sadly? I mean, I have no opinions about the brutalist facade (well I do, I never loved it), but I do know that keeping it would have made it really hard or impossible for them to renovate for a multi tenant building with active frontages as it is planned. This project will bring so much life to this forgotten part of the city - it will detonate a lot of much needed investment and activity in and around FVM.
