Mt. Lebanon High School’s Building C is no more.

The six-story structure, which once housed administration offices and academic classrooms, has been demolished as part of the school’s ongoing $110 million renovation project.

“Those renderings we’ve been looking at for years is what you see when you look across the athletic fields to the building,” school board member Elaine Cappucci said at the Jan. 18 meeting.

She said that contractors are continuing to work on parts of the building that are below ground, along with some other “punch list items.”

The space that the building occupied, once cleared, will be used for new tennis courts, while the demolition allows work to continue on reopening Horsman Drive from Lebanon Avenue to the school’s main parking lot.

Work on the Building C demolition began with asbestos removal in the summer. At year’s end, much of the building still stood, as removing the steel infrastructure took slightly longer than anticipated.

When determining the scope of the high school renovation, the school board at the time decided to demolish Building C instead of remodeling it, citing the potential for increased costs and more disruptions to students and staff members during construction.
