Block J demolition

Southern facade of block J at Burnside High School as the building is being demolished. Contributor's note: "In March 2024, I and J blocks at Burnside High School were assessed and deemed below the minimum earthquake rating on the building code and posed an unacceptable risk to student and staff safety. The Ministry of Education decided the buildings should be demolished."
