Every document I've seen says they're demolishing the rear wings of the structure but retaining the Broad Street building -- for a school of professional studies, IIRC. The parts of the site fronting 13th will be turned into new athletic fields.

The plan is to retain the orange tile façade and nothing else. The rest of the site will be rebuilt from the ground up.
