13. Option 1: Overbuild and keep schools the same
Expands the building over part of Co-op Tech, loses 10 stories

15. Opt 3: Move res. building to 1st and put schools on 2nd

16. The overbuild option is the simplest way to reduce height without compromising the schools
Con:
Increases building cost
Doesn’t lower building height much
Compromises part of the roof of Co-op Tech
Pro:
Lowers building height while keeping core out of school
A minor change that would likely not restart ULURP
Building is still very tall, taller than Mt. Sinai by about 75 feet

17. The two building option dramatically lowers building height
Con:
The usability of the school is compromised with residential core going through building
Would likely restart ULURP
Pro:
Substantially lowers building height
Buildings are still very tall, about 100 feet taller than Taino Towers, but 100 feet shorter than Mt. Sinai
