It is very sad to read about the looming demolition of another unique modern building in San Antonio. From the Downtown Blog:
City seeks contractor for SAPD HQ demo
The construction of the public safety headquarters, West Nueva Street
and South Santa Rosa Avenue, was the first indicator that, indeed, the
ball was rolling on a land-swap deal between the city and the U.S.
government.
What will become the headquarters for the police and fire departments
is on schedule to be operational by September, according to the city.
Now, the city has issued a request for proposals
for the demolition and environmental abatement of the current police
headquarters, 214 W. Nueva St., after, of course, the police finally
move.
The demolition is scheduled for completion by early 2013.
It would be great to be able to save some materials from the demo. Perhaps they will go with a demo company that reclaims materials?
