That's good! I used to work for a school architect, and they love stuff like "it's a very open building, that actually feels welcoming when you walk in the door" - They make big bucks to design buildings were people would say just that!
What's really amazing to me is that I thought the building wasn't any more than maybe about 7 years old........I about croaked when I noticed the cornerstone one day....1963. And even more amazing to me, was that I only recently found out that it was originally the traditionally "black" school in the district.
