This animated video is the designers' vision of what it will be like when it's done, complete with cleancut animated students enthusiastically rushing to class through pristine, uncrowded halls. All set to classical music. Enjoy this 9 minute and 45 second movie.

The Wilson modernization project looks like it will be really something -- a truly great community school. We're very lucky that this started under Fenty, Michelle Rhee and Allen Lew. Ditto for smaller projects like the Janney school expansion and even the John Eaton playground redo, although it's too bad that needed updating inside Eaton isn't in the pipeline. There's no way that Marion Barry and the grievance crowd that exacted "payback" in the recent mayoral primary will accept these types of projects in Ward 3 for a very long time.
