The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School building is set to be demolished five years after the tragic school shooting in Parkland, Florida.

Seventeen people died on Feb. 14, 2018, after Nikolas Cruz walked onto the premises and opened fire, and now that site is being prepared for demolition, according to a report that cited Broward County Public Schools.

The demolition of the school building where the shooting occurred had to be postponed until the trials of Cruz and former school resource officer Scott Peterson concluded, but there are no more legal obstacles, the report noted.

"It is very emotional, a lot of feelings, but it’s time, it’s time for that building to come down," school board Chairwoman Lori Alhadeff said.

The demolition of the 1200 building is set to begin at the end of the school year, and many hope it will help reduce the trauma that the residents of Parkland have endured.

"It is important for us to have that building demolished so that we can move forward in our healing process," Alhadeff, whose daughter was killed in the shooting, said.

"I cannot wait for the day that it's not here, that I don't look down this long hallway and see a memory that's not a good memory, it's a horrible memory," Eric Garner, a teacher at MSD, said.

Alhadeff and Garner's sentiments were not shared by everyone, according to the report.

"I always think of Gina, I always remember her, and whether the 1200 building is there or not, we all know the tragedy that occurred on that campus," Tony Montalto, who lost his daughter that February day, said.

"We do encourage Superintendent Licata and the Broward County School Board to make sure that they work with the families of the deceased to make sure we have an appropriate memorial replacing the 1200 building. It can't just be filled in by other parking spaces," he said.

The demolition of the site will require a few weeks of work and will not be an implosion, according to the report.
