affected:
Demolish the Thomy Lafon Elementary School, 2601 Seventh Street
Comments: Destruction of the Thomy Lafon Elementary school, a building perfectly built in the design of living with flooding in the natural environment of New Orleans is highly short sighted and incredibly wasteful.

This building is the model of what any brand new schools in our city should display in design. A renewal with additions to this building are very promising as a new school or for other adaptive reuses.
