Does this thread belong here? I don't know. I'll let the admins sort it out.

Is there anyone out there who knows what the fate of the old CBE building might be? Everything I've read says that it suffered tremendous damage in the flood and that it's future is up in the air. Over time this has become one of my favourite buildings in the city. It would be such a shame to see it demolished. Given it's history as an education building and it's proximity to Bow Valley College. I'd love to see it restored, designated as a heritage building and handed over to the school.

I'd like to hear if the rest of you are lovers or haters and if you have heard anything about it recently.
 
There was a plan to turn it into an art gallery or something like that, but I believe they are now going with the old Planetarium instead. Personally I like the CBE building. There aren't many buildings like it, so restoring it seems like a good idea IMO.
