The building isn't dying. The businesses that once occupied it are.
If you move into it, and have an active student body there every day, then it's not dead anymore, right? It's thriving with activity.
The people wanting to take craft classes are probably not going to ruminate over whether the classroom they're in was once a Foot Locker. I mean, as long as you aren't lazy about converting the space (i.e. take down the old signage and ditch the black and white stripes).
Look at the sibling comment to yours. There's a short video about Austin's CC. The place looks great!
