If they go through with the plan as shown above I think they're doing a phenomenal job of preserving the past. Keeping the entire structure is simply impractical, utilizing the most redeeming portion of it in a functional manner is an incredibly smart and progressive way to both preserve the past and make needed progress.
I'm not sure what else you would have them do, put yellow tape around it and let the structure continue to decay?
