There is a clear winner in the category of Most Surprising Reuse of a Former Cub Foods. 
Property Lines got a tour this morning of the
new Calvary Christian School at I-65 and South Keystone Avenue. The $8-million transformation of the former grocery store
includes dozens of classrooms, a giant library bathed in natural light and a gymnasium with two full basketball courts. The
project saved only the slab and three walls from the old Cubs. It was designed by locally based Entheos Architects. The school
is scheduled to open in August. There's a rendering of the project here.
Calvary Tabernacle also is planning a new church between the new school and I-65. Any thoughts on the new look?

In other words, it doesn't exactly scream educational facility.
However, As for making use of an old vacant big box retailer, it's great! This should be model for other developers. I can think of at least 4 giant empty boxes that could be creatively transformed.
(Sorry. I had to.)
And who cares what kcflood's opinion of Christian schools is. Keep it about real estate, architecture, and the like.
Thank you to the church that transformed a terrible eyesore into something nice that increases the value of the neighborhood! Welcome to the neighborhood - I hope you thrive.
