Recommendation

No objection to the concept design to partially demolish, relocate, and reconfigure Building 88 (Blackburn Laboratory) on a site to the west to accommodate the extension of Sycamore Street, SE, per supplemental materials received 10 November 2022. Submission indicates that moving the building to the original relocation site to the northeast, identified in the 2012 master plan, was deemed not feasible because of the challenging structural conditions of Building 88. Please file detailed and dimensioned drawings for review by the Commission when ready. Refer to DC Historic Preservation Office.
