Interior work is being done on the new, 75,000-square-foot Carson School at in Price Hill, and it still requires landscaping and finishing touches.
Very little remains of the demolition of the old school except for an old set of steps.
GBBN Architects designed the $15 million, which has been universally panned by Building Cincinnati readers.
The building is supposed to be ready for students this fall, so they'd better hurry.
BTW...it looks like someone left their weave on the fence along Glenway Avenue.

Gee, architectural design has come so far. We should be proud.
Kevin-
Thanks for the update and the great photos.
New place looks just like its predecessor, no?
The city and CPS should be ashamed of themselves. What an absolute disaster. There is no hope for Cincinnati if it continues to be so incredibly blind to the importance of its past.
If Kroger can make the thoughtful gesture of saving some tilework from the original building for their new location -- but the city decides it would rather spend $15m on this piece of junk instead of using that money to rehab the existing elegant structure -- well, that tells me we ought to have Kroger run the city and the school district, too.
ps: Can you tell how much I HATE the new building?
pps: What the h*ll were the "architects" thinking with those windows of alternating height? It looks like a funhouse asylum. I take that back. It looks like a cardboard box with random holes cut out of it. SICK!
What a disgusting project. In so many different ways this project sucks.
In so many similar ways, it also sucks.
Where are all the "Campy Washington" defenders? I'll bet the only problem here is, we just don't understand building design. I'm sure they worked with "neighborhood representatives" to come up with the design, and if we don't live in Price Hill, well, we should just butt out.
If that line of reasoning is good enough for Camp Washington, it's good enough for Price Hill.
I think I'm going to come up with a new bumper sticker. Instead of saying "Question Authority" it will say "Question Artists".
