Press release:
Seattle Public Schools will hold a community meeting from 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, June 14 at the Southwest Community Center, 2801 SW Thistle St., to let the public know about the upcoming demolition of the former Denny Building to make way for the new Denny International School.

At the meeting, Seattle Public Schools will introduce the project team, and representatives of Bassetti Architects and BN Builders will describe the project, outline what neighbors can expect to see over the next few months of construction, and answer questions. There may be impacts on the available parking for the Southwest Community Center and Pool during construction, which begins on June 27, 2011 and ends in January 2012.

The new Denny International Middle School will open the first day of school for the 2011-12 school year.
