Here's the operative language from the Programmatic Agreement for the VA Medical Center site preparation:
ii. If feasible, VA will retain and rehabilitate the Dixie Brewery 
addressed at 2401 Tulane Avenue and integrate this historic 
building into the design of the new VAMC. VA, in consultation with 
the SHPO, will first assess the structural stability of the Dixie 
Brewery and determine if it will be feasible to retain the structure in 
its entirety. If it is concluded that it is not possible to retain and 
rehabilitate the entire structure VA will identify the significant 
features of the Dixie Brewery and integrate those features of the 
historic building in the design of the new VAMC.  That leaves a good deal of latitude with respect to what's "feasible" and "significant" - if you ask me.
