Just because something's "ugly" doesn't automatically make it worth demolishing. Ugly is very subjective. The point is that it was a historic building - one of the last in Wilmington to document ACL's mid-twentieth century history. It's not to say that the new building isn't attractive. The significant waste of materials is a real shame and hardly a "green" project, which CFCC should be striving for in construction of new buildings. I would think the college would want to minimize it's environmental impact. What do you think has happened to all that asbestos in the building while they are demolishing it? That's right - it's all in the air in downtown Wilmington.
