They couldn't make the numbers work on a cheap new construction, rehabbing the roundhouse would not save them any money. And if they attempted to alter its exterior and layout so that it would make absolutely any sense from a 21st century urbanist perspective, it would undoubtedly cost far more to rehab the roundhouse than the new building they planned to build... Which again, they couldn't make work.
Rehabbing the roundhouse is not a project for a bunch of low overhead public service agencies. To rehab the roundhouse the right way so that it is worth preserving and is a functional part of the cityscape, you'd need to spend a lot of money. And i just don't see anyone plopping a ton of money down to rehab the roundhouse, so good riddance.
