According to an email from Joyce Topshe, Associate Vice President for Facilities at Wesleyan University, the plans for demolition of existing buildings on Washington Terrace, and the expansion of the Film Studies building are being reconsidered.
The Eye reported earlier that plans to demolish the historic buildings at 319 and 329 Washington Street had been presented to the City of Middletown Design Review Commission.
Topshe writes: "We are exploring the feasibility of using 319 Washington Terrace to house the new Film classroom that would otherwise displace the old building. Today (December 21) there are engineers on site investigating more thoroughly both 319 and 329 Washington Terrace. If the outcome of the testing is favorable, and the revised plans are agreeable to Wesleyan leadership, we plan to submit a revised proposal to DRPB on January 10."

Well fingers crossed they choose the right path and save the buildings. That section of town is suffering enough from their penchant for 'experimental' architecture.
Any update on their plan to knock down the old cleaners for yet another parking lot?
DRB basically told Wesleyan to save the houses & make a better design. Good job & credit where it's due.
