The city Planning Commission approved the university’s request after the Preservation Board denied the request to demolish the building in 2011. SLU appealed the Preservation board’s decision, as well as the board’s decision to allow demolition of the complex’s garage and milk plant only after the university obtained building permits for its SLUCare center on the Pevely site.
The commission decided in a separate vote to apply the building permit condition to demolition of the office building. According to the report, a building will be sought just before the project is ready to break ground, and SLU officials hope to begin construction this year.
