Project Name:   George Washington Junior High School Feasibility Assessment Study & Commemorative Shelter Design Project Location:    Tampa, Florida Client:  Janus Research for FL Department of Transportation, District VII Completion:  2005
	Project Information: Located within the proposed footprint of future highway expansion, the viability of relocating and rehabilitating this National Register eligible building was studied from a structural, cost and use standpoint. Determined not economically feasible to relocate, the building was razed in 2004. On its site, a commemorative marker was constructed out of materials salvaged from the building. Designed for use as a bus shelter in conjunction with HARTline, the marker utilizes salvaged brick, one of the  original cupolas and reflects design elements from the school building while meeting ADA accessibility requirements. A commemorative plaque was installed on the structure educating passer-bys of the school's history. In addition, wood flooring, interior doors and other architectural elements were salvaged from the building to be reused at Woodrow Wilson Middle School, a still functioning school with the same original design as the George Washington as well as for other Tampa City projects.
