I guess he's part of the temporarily scattered Burroughs "community," but the kindergarteners are at Mt. Olivet right next door. According to my wife, the space is quite nice - good job, school and district administration! (By the way, school opens on Thursday for kindergarteners...two more days of day-care payments, drat!) The older kids are at Brookside in St. Louis Park; that school has been in the MPS system, but its programs have been moved to schools such as Kenwood. The old Burroughs is being torn down, and the new school is rising just west of the old one on what was an open field. According to the principal, it should open on time next year. The old school, I'm told, was literally sinking (it was built over an underground river between Lake Harriet and the creek). I'll let other more experienced Burroughs hands talk about the cost-benefit of renovation versus reconstruction.
