Still Slated for Destruction

McDonogh No. 11 School

The plans for the UMC Hospital Footprint still call for large areas of surface-level parking, not actual hospital building.  If the political willpower existed, the design could be reconfigured on the existing footprint to avoid the demise of the school.

The acronyn NOCHC on the side of the building stands for the following:

N-ew
O-rleans
C-enter
[for]
H-ealth
C-areers

How much FEMA and recovery funding was sought and/or applied to this public biomedical school's post-K renovation?

Why was a health-related public school within GNOBEDD boundaries renovated only to be repurposed for non-medical use and ultimately slated for demolition?
