Robert Aho has written a succinct explanation of the inappropriate level of control Johnson Controls has over the Red Plan and more specifically its architects. These designers are accountable not to the School Board but to Johnson Controls which is in turn accountable to their stockholders not the taxpayers of Duluth.
Just look at the poor architects who are trying to design Ordean High who have been denied adequate land to build on. The District has backed off of land acquisition and will attempt to build on the 10.8 usable acres. It can’t be done unless they build a four story parking ramp topped with five stories of high school.
Good gracious. The same architects have been assigned the ordeal of trying to design the western middle school on this property.
Somebody must not like them.
