Still, I do not want to see this building go away if it at all can be helped...

The frustrating part about knocking them down is AFAIK there's no real plan yet for the parcels. It's basically "let us knock everything down and consolidate, and we'll see what we can do."
If there was say a proposal for a 13-story residential highrise or something, i think you could argue the trade is worthwhile on the merits. But given for all we know we'll just get a three-story Point Park University building, or maybe a vacant lot for the next 15 years, there's no way this should go forward.
