Why is there scaffolding on this building if it is under going demolition ?

Answer:

so they can build a new identical building afterwards, lol
Many cities require or give credit for recycling so the scaffolding is in place so the surface material or glass could be removed and reused. Removal of the outer material might also allow removal of skeletal steel without bending.
Dear JusTrav, Scaffolding is a temporary structure used to support the crew who worked on the building and material used in the destruction of buildings and other large structures. The scaffording could of been there for a bomb inspector to approve the destruction sequence. The scaffording could of been there to remove very expensive windows and ornament. The scaffording could of been there to support the structure from falling certain way. The scaffording are remove as the last stand.
Probably it is being disassembled, not demolished. This saves the parts like glass, metal for salvage.
