We must save atl history. We don't have much in the downtown area . Because of the civil war( Sherman's March on Atlanta ) Atlanta does not many historical buildings left. Also Atlanta has torn down many other buildings for name of progress. We as a city must understand the true meaning of the phoenix.

Emory you know you shouldn't be doing this. Please reconsider your application.

I honestly can't believe I'm having to sign another petition like this in Atlanta in 2017. We only have so many historic buildings, and this one could be reimagined and reused as part of downtown/midtown's continued resurgence. We've still got a lot of parking lots and underutilized spaces all over the city, it's just absurd to tear down another structure like this one. Architecturally, this building is a step above any new structure that may replace it. It may be cliche, but once it's lost, it's lost forever.

With complete new construction of the Protocol Therapy Center, the Emory can do is to work to re-use an architecturally interesting historic building.

This building should have been on historic list. It's a building worth preserving and adds to the character, history and respectability of the city. Keep it from being town down

Emory, you owe the preservation community this one after ripping down I. M. Pei's first American commission, the Gulf Oil Building, to build that hideous proton thing

Atlanta is systematically demolishing its history with every building that gets torn down. This is a great building in a great location that could work beautifully as an adaptive reuse project. Please make the wise and more sustainable choice and go this route instead!

If All of Europe can adaptively reuse past architecture in innovative ways, the time is long overdue for Atlanta to save the few buildings that it has.

Please don't tear this building down. What greater way to emphasize sustainability than to rehabilitate a classic building, to show Atlanta what can be done when you care enough.

Destroying this beautiful and historical building would be an indelible shame on Emory, specially given the profusion of surface parking lots in this area. At a time when Emory University has petitioned to join the city of Atlanta, it needs to act like a good citizen and set a fine example for other organizations. The Proton therapy debacle continues to mar Midtown Atlanta. Let us not disfigure yet another block of this city, specially at a time when so many positive developments are taking place all over Midtown.

With vacant lots nearby and room to build, the 1930's building should absolutely be SAVED & re-purposed. What about mixed use, including reasonably priced apartments for lower income families?

Emory is a terrible steward of architectural heritage
