DeKALB
Demolition set for campus building
With the city schools’ maintenance department moving into the new Public Works building next month, the old maintenance building on the Decatur High campus is scheduled for demolition within two years.
The three-level building, likely erected in the late 1930s, is the oldest remaining structure on the campus where Decatur High settled in 1921.
After demolition, the property will become part of a mixed-use development between the city and Cousins Properties, scheduled to begin in 2016 or 2017. Bill Banks for the AJC
