plan that we're using to find and that original conference was for thirty four thousand nine hundred dollars they have been paid out and the superintendent has indicated that you don't have any further need for those services and so the amount remains divine thousand nine hundred fifty dollars which we would like to liquidate so that then i'll move i'll ask to update us on the selection of a construction manager which i think that is a good term that we use for this instead of c m r we should use construction manager thank you yes sure so i was the chair of the subcommittee on the construction manager selection and what we have decided to do is a building committee which we decided  couple of months ago is to go same with wellington which was to hire a large construction company to manage the construction the construction will still be submitted in a similar manner to what people are used to seeing by if one uses this method which is available to unison televisa has been for about ten years now you get to interview and choose your construction manager what is that you know one of the things that it does cory says is it allows us to work right now at this stage where we're really giving the schematic design and the construction manager at least going to manage all of the construction he is a contractor he or she will be with us at the table and we'll be working on the drawings we'll discuss with the architect of the project manager the materials that are being  thing to have done at wellington and we have decided to do it with this project by choosing our construction manager we also will receive an additional one percent increase for cement from the m s has to go through it's something that the state has been doing for twenty or thirty years now probably thirty because i think we did it wellington we said they've been doing it for twenty one but they we had not ever made it available to municipalities to do and they did  b many weeks ago firms to apply and you can well imagine with a project that has a price tag in the high two hundred millions there is not a lot of companies that qualify for this kind of work and they told so you have to be companies willing to work in the public sector which also limits the field somewhat so it's great to not have to put this out to bid to everybody have a bunch of people bidding on the project you don't even qualify and then to have people who perhaps don't have to experience in doing this kind of thing we received six initial proposals you know we  received six initial interest so coming to our walk around three of those firms decided they were not going to apply and the other three firms did apply they were three terms that we had building inc which is scamps care they were the contractors who built the wellington and suffolk and all three are known in eastern massachusetts all three do work in eastern massachusetts so we invited them to come for interviews and we interviewed all three fronts for an hour they were all given materials and asked to address four basic questions one thing they were asked to do and i can say this having done construction projects in belmont for the past thirty years is we told them we wanted to talk to the people we'd be talking to in the field we had no interest in talking to the c e o we were happy to meet him or her but we really we knew they weren't going to be here except for the ribbon cutting at the end and maybe for the shuffle in the ground at the beginning so the people we wanted to talk to and see who we might be be dealing with with the people that were going to be on side every day and all three firms complied with that and i can say that was the first time in my experience that's happened i was very pleased that they all did that and they allowed the people to talk and to do the presentation and that's not what contractors generally do and i'm sure some of them were a little bit uncomfortable but it gave us a flavor of what we would be dealing with over the next several years all of them are very interested in this job and all of them were well qualified and it was very very tough to narrow it down and what you do is you rank them highly advantageous advantageous or not and then after all of that is done and you have that completed you open the on the lopes that they have written their price on and on the job the individual who was the project manager at the wellington and then under him there were other people who did address this some very senior people who  will be working on this project the number two firm with skill bain and the number three firm was suffering as i say all three were very well qualified and any of the three so what's the next  of good work and this was unanimous decision that we feel strongly that this is the right firm with some very good points so i would have to motion to do we just said which is enter into negotiations to finalize the errors project manager architectural team and construction team and with that we should be able to answer any questions that come to us including schedule construction logistics phasing right those are things that we've been a little group and hopefully three people could come to a very good understanding of what the right price is so so thank you i make the move now to the next item on the agenda and this time chris i think you're going to flip this over to the site design up that from the from the committee sad we're getting prepared for a presentation thursday to attack and that really hopefully engage the public on a great discussion spatter up to what we've been talking about and  same same aspirations making sure that getting to the high school side and getting around to safer walkers encourages cracking and biking it makes them not better and i think and i know that's that's what we're doing our design professionals here are very clearly that's what better certainly at least the several group if not even the let's get group their sponsors up this are nonprofit so they look for contributions if someone wants to contribute i'm sure they'll be happy for that and they've done this to many many municipalities they've preview on the site design and traffic by but i guess what you're doing this ok and then i'm going to open it up to some questions on that again not talking too deeply into the details but i still think it's an opportunity for us to hear a lot of these points on this which i don't want to go through one by one just due to time constraints but a lot of them have been imposed and put into the projects so i think it's order to see it more clearly and i also want to mention again that the ring road which we can call it the ring road and maybe other other i like that she deserves it is intact in a lot of the elements are still here we're still looking at it to weigh in to weigh out circulation against this plan is set up for a lot of flexibility what we can do at this point is get traction deliveries into the site we need handicapped parking close to the building we need intransient parking which is visitor parking to the front of the building so these are things that so but let's make sure i have no deliveries of trash and pick up trash as well as trash transients parking handicapped and what's missing emergency  those are those four things do need to access this project which will require road how much parking can be adjusted but we think we have a really nice site plan that allows for that because this road accommodates those things we had a very well attended regulatory meeting today we've had several meetings today we've had a regulatory meeting we had a security meeting and we had history meeting prior to this and the fire chief justice there's been some discussion about whether or not we need these roads at the entry so this is the high school entry in middle school and the fire chief was very clear that that was required that he would like as much access around the building and to the front door to those those are still intact here and here and that's where on the handicapped parking is also located if you don't want to use it you don't have to use it but it's there for emergency and it's there for plan so this is a pedestrian circulation plan and what the d the team did was that we have a lot of people working on this a lot of brains we have landscape and so to landscape teams in the civil team as well as the architectural team working on this to ensure as many safe efficient groups to the building so there was comments about making sure we have an alexander underpass connection there was comments about how do you get from the field to the  gymnasium field house so that's where this route came in there's just gushed about how to get quickly to the building so that's where some of these diag over roots came in and there was also a conversation about eliminating the parking at this that into the site to ensure that would work so i'd like everyone to maybe get a later time go online take a look at this could actually go point by point to d s notes and see how those are integrated in so these two comments were were grouped into three categories i forgot to say first one category is the speech comments are good and there incorporated into the second category is that the professional feel it's not appropriate for the site and third category dialogue doesn't stop when we submit in july this is these are some of these suggestions should be put in place now and not wait for the project so these are some good suggestions to even try suggestions that shape and form the project with good success and so we want to continue to do this because the presentation to tack in this discussion on the sixteenth doesn't mean that we're done in the discussion it's sort of just a point where we could sort of can change it just gets very hard to do but that doesn't mean we're not going to try to do something that specially if it's right for bulma we have plenty of time to confuse discussion through the summer through the fall and into the into the next year with a successful vote in november  that want to come up and offer some comments about right now it's the site design update and what we're leading up to which is really a dialogue on thursday and our next committee meeting next week on and so people are really very concerned about that and feel that it is creating a create a very unsafe situation i just like to comment that eighty two percent of the children who go to house so it really requires that the town really look at this very seriously because we have lots of children and i think the comal and bell should be that the children can try to really walk and by just  we shouldn't assume that children who live north of them are just above hillcrest for instance being true would need to be driven every day and dropped off at the high school or even driven down to the wellington if people think it's too dangerous could it wasn't clear which way whether was one way or two ways on that campus and so the with was provided to allow flexibility it stays one way today simply because it's working persons are of this can go one way this carry go two ways  one way east one way west but the infrastructure we're being told by our our design team should be put in place to allow that flexibility to future things take time to grow while we don't want it too wide where it's if specially it's one way it's just too much pavement so we hear you and signalized intersections you know a lot of people don't like that idea but that's the that we're being told that's the safest way to cross that what you do that they have a very safe way to get across comp because the signal as it seems rational if you will imitate that one so i think we should continue that discussion because there is also where the the drafting the road comes out and bad certainly if we accept that then there's more confusion to people walkers and everybody bicyclists that are trying to cross there and that's how the design professionals explain how simplifying connections allows people to understand what movements are occurring and we can we could have a discussion but they should be in this meeting they were present a real detailed you've taken control of that interception and it could be programmed in a variety of ways beyond what what i could even think about so that's a big plus but that's not necessarily where a lot of people want to go with this so let's we've got to continue stress that the only other  found up discussions with them at this time they're talking about it i believe because that was on their agenda right now and the reality is that there was accommodations made basically for no groups on the campus with the packing it was just a comedy and teachers and and i have to go on but that's it maybe the students aren't parking on campus and maybe it's just staff that's partying on there so that's that's maybe the broken because i can't imagine we're not going to allow teachers park you know so the bookend might be just the teachers or or what we have today but we also have to consider the civic about them that's that's the other information we gave them which is if you pull that bad out what happens with our civic of that right now the parking count is equal to what the capacity is with that that goes on so all good discussions those are his frequent is the daily use of the school but certainly still has some level of impacts and by the way we experienced no student parking on campus when the wellington temporary modulus were there and you know i think some of the neighbors might comment on how that that worked out because i was i think two years to school years that occurred where the students displaced for the additional staff and also the model is not a bird so we have some history there signs and stuff against it and i'm assuming also with instructions going on across their own tracks they might not be able to complain about it but it's just worrying because of what happened in the  committee has hired optimism that that will come to fruition where boards like mine and and other interested folks in in the neighborhood that wants to see that so the design has accommodated and planned for that future connection in street where in fact the students are trying to cross ok so i suppose that intersection with the signal will still help them cross but we're putting a lot more traffic with a two way traffic then can go back and  east cleanly and not not impose as much stress on already stressful situation so that some of the background discussions that have gone on but it's worth again this can be changed around it with the road saying that they've agreed to any of this by the way they just received the information this week as you did and so that's you know we have to design professionals that are experts in this type of work and we have to let them sort of explain why their positions are the way they are neighborhood over there which i'm a part so they certainly reach out and you know it's going to be very difficult if every single one of the things they suggested is not recommended because there it looks like there's no give them all well  let's let's always look at this in light of what's safe for the walkers and bikers in that area and i think that you bring up good points let's keep asking our saw that's what we're going to ask on thursday what is what is right for the safety of those people that are walking and bicycling and and then is that and for the people that live there what does that mean for the impact to the neighborhood right because we don't want to do that we don't want to make the condition less right now if you could put clothes that made him put a cross walk into the much safer i don't know that let's have our desire professionals ask that answer the questions that are asked is it going to be safer or less safe when you do these things that are suggested in other words block the part of planning board because they feel that that's something with the earth you ok so all these groups are hoping that they're coming together in the next sixty four days to a point where we have some consensus as to where that goes and for all the reasons you brought up support and that is communication continued so we've loaded up the meetings with tac we understand we we're probably going to have a subsequent tax meeting after thursday with planning board as a joint meeting and then we're going to have another planning board meeting and maybe some of the planning board meetings needs to include i'm just suggesting that so that these discussions happen in a collective environment rather than silos so that the town wide these concessions decisions are made with very  believe that putting a signal there will make it much safer for walkers i do believe however will that also do is encourage traffic to go through there and today i don't know what was going on but there is some diversion of traffic on to go to do that all the way up go to and i think it went up and i'm sure my going all way up to the channel and and you know when he was moving and that cannot be safe for kids even if you have a signal there because now you have traffic all jammed through that intersection and if people are going to go flying through that if there is a light which also makes it's very unsafe for kids crossing so you know they're going to cross there's a green light they're going to cross if there's a that there's a walk signal and if somebody is lying down that road on a green light that is not safe for a kid and so you know every so every design we've seen since november has had that entrance to the school right across from going into the sr a shutdown going right into the school it's a pretty fast road as it is so you know i don't understand we i think it's really hard for us to understand how wide discussion of what happens beyond the campus and it needs to be done collectively that's why we there's the building committee hasn't gotten a final decision on what's right beyond the campus and you have some evidence that will be presented on thursday and the town consultant b s c group is also looking at this so there's still much work to be done but if you look it is becoming i mean one of the things that we could think about and perhaps this is being considered is in the stress a different street i mean it's going to promote potential legal u turns and so let's let's table this till thursday these are all good comments so it's very difficult for the building committee to make a decision when so many forces are coming out and there are other influences developing each area in a more refined way so we're working back and forth with department heads on those areas the woman the eleventh grader sorry i forgot your name so where do you  you right now actually your comment came up at our regulatory meeting today so i don't know when you spotted the room might you must've been telepathic because we talked about and trees exits into the building right now and you have an entry on the middle school side for the seventh and eighth graders and you have an entry on the high school side for dying to twelve students there was discussion i think you had a little change of plan lately i mean on how you can move in and out of the building  which is the stage as you enter and that was a really good room we've been able to meet all of the make all of the visual and performing really the performing arts space place nicely with a lot of areas we still need to program that if you work all we have the dining commons in the centralised area of the building with access to the green space at the pond that serves as a pretty function space to the auditorium so i'm really happy without the auditorium is working with a pretty functional space on if you squint your eyes or look closely you put your spectacles on you'll see that we started laying out the economic areas and trying to make them very flexible and accommodate to be at the school and so on your plans in front of you will show that for those who have it we're looking at nurses areas so we're starting to develop a plan and a more articulately put the fifty center  downstairs so all of these spaces are continuous so we are getting the feedback from the staff and the directors and principals and the superintendent and that's how this plan is going developed and if you  we're able to zoom in here you would start to see walls and doors it looking like a real four plan which it is now so this is all model and this will lead to into some of the perspectives a walk through that we're doing so you'll see some furniture remember last time you saw this area of the middle school reconfigured so that it's starting to populate that with furniture so you can see how it feels i'm not going to get into every detail there is a lot of  one but when that happens then there are lots of nuances like the teachers want their directors rooms next to  so that's how the plans are developing so if you have any particular questions specific questions to answer that i think the key is that we are commentating one by one the needs of the sta about how the circulation fifty outside a building really gathers you call from you in from concord out to you this is one of those moments in the building where it will open up kind of the inviting at the main high school country looking a courts themselves in the morning this court will be a little brighter this will be dark you have to be in this to be a lot lighter that will be dark but with a red or darker colors it might be something that feels a little darker particularly of winter early or early in the morning or late in the afternoon on those two winters and so one of the one of the thoughts or questions was should we think about a lighter building and i think one of the things patrick was starting to talk about is the introduction of more glass here or glass of what might be the library here do we optimize we want to do a very sustained really drive you do loads to load reduce electrical load one of the ways to do that is to actually harvest as much daylight as possible and with the orientation of the building largely that long west lot of south facing very used to control day light we would do the series of windows where the these are all about the same percentage but whether it's more of a vertical punch a very simple words a little strip that's kind of what we talked about last week can you confirm see the percentages for senate just kind of important because it ties back to our energy model orange model right now on cost or based on about thirty percent but the idea is that this will probably come down a little bit twenty to twenty five kind of mixed together so these are some of the things from starting to look at with with with brick and the last was just kind of  front of us where we can say yes maybe scrub get rid of that when we start to narrow it down to a selection that we like to get for this building because that's come out of design we want the ability to represent belmont and and our decision not not just still cost to that i think just to thwart the pattern of the windows on the inside we have people that are you know with are weighing in on what the inside of the rooms they're caught they're spending a lot of time in his classroom we have to understand what that will look like and what's one that we're choosing right i think that it wouldn't be right for us to conclude from that design and still have these four options on the table yet that doesn't seem right and i think the discussion last time we talked about it i think there was a little bit of a leading towards this is what i remember hearing just because of i think it kind of gives these nice we've been using the landscape i could say that i heard a lot of i heard that the vertical windows didn't have much support at all the i'm not sure whether it's that one of the right or some variation of it as your start to work but we should right and that's when i started to look at these guys are kind of a variation of this and you know we have to look at the percentage based on sustainability you know we want more glass of those big public areas and we want to type of the classrooms a little bit  the heating environment that usually proves out to be one of the most economical versus metal panel versus terra cotta you brought up precast i mean it's usually brick color different issues you get other detail t the horizontal paths that you have to look disproportional they look like they're almost two squaddie i think the glass should be higher and i i don't have a problem with separation in the in the in the glass if you go horizontal with some type of separation like spacing out maybe not this drastic as you have on the one to laugh where you run your candles all the way off but it's a combination with the glass would actually be higher and maybe a little bit more spacing in between i don't think you need all of that glass your comments yes i think it maybe not so much i mean the interior of my ability to the exterior images where you're showing us examples i think it would be helpful it feels to me like the images that you're showing are maybe not necessarily sleep these are not necessarily school buildings i think it would be really helpful if you could show as examples of other high school buildings because these look very corporate or commercial or it something maybe not quite not quite what we're looking for with the school that's in a residential neighborhood so i think that that would be helpful if you could maybe find some other examples that are a little bit more relative in that regard and i think also with the windows i tend to agree with joe there i like the horizontal better than like the their entire vertical ones but it maybe doesn't need to be white i don't think it's quite there yet i think the two that you proposed this week are better and then to her mother last time i think we're original i don't know when it's from at least a hundred years old so my classroom has the entire width of the classroom from about three feet high all the way the ceiling operational windows  all i like a lot of glass i also not like the vertical i think for one thing they're going to get disgusting of the bottoms of the glass in terms of dirty and i do i do like that the horizontal i think  that i think it's ok if it doesn't go all the way across because you know there's tasks and stuff and for shelves you might want to put up so i think you still get the same amount to flight my main concern is that they definitely be operational  say i have one question and one suggestion along the lines of exclude examples do you want to see typical school furniture in the classrooms i think would help us visualize you know the functionality of those horizontal i agree with you about the vertical windows they just turn the teacher's perspective i imagine knowing what that looks like with bookshelves or tables and chairs how you can see out those windows in these rooms are so empty and there's a standing person that most often were were seated around the table doing those things i think a bit helpful to see that from my second question is i get a little confused in your presentation about what percentage of glazing that you're aiming for for the classrooms versus overall and for these classrooms and seeing twenty two percent or twenty two point eight percent pleasing in some in twenty eight point five percent glazing and if you could just elaborate a little more on what the on the upper school there's more glass in there so that percentage if we stay down in this twenty likely at least twenty to twenty percent range those areas can be a little higher so if we're down in this range we can have a little more  ass so that's what the mall is being based on and i was just going to say the interesting depending on what classrooms would be in rooms with the window opportunities to think about what creative teaching opportunities are presented by choosing someone a type of window over another i mean literally i mean you know like whether it's lima beans and plastic bags or artwork on the windows or photography classes that benefit from lighting of a different variety it could be interesting to think about those opportunities aside from or in addition to  about it i do think there's an opportunity for a public about but i understand there might be a drive through chris on this next that maybe we could do it because it'll also demonstrate some of the feel of the interior spaces through the building and into some of the areas in the middle school and in the high school so as the entry here the entry to the administrators suite will be on your right i'm directly visible on this side and you're looking into the dining commons in kind of out into that landscape area where where there can be outdoor dining if you see about into the pond as we said you know determining how much we can thin out that landscape will determine how much view you get from there this is glass but w so then walking through on the right there you see the day area for the lower school dining it's kind of sectioned off and you see the stair that brings you up through to the to the main space for the lower school so that area will probably so this is a stair that will bring students up from the lower school entry directly into the lower school library and media commons to see the open portion of the of the library for the lower school there and beyond your scene the kind of clothes quiet section so moving up then to the to the grade floor this is kind of looking down into that that library space and chris you could turn around and walk towards one of the innovation spaces for the lower school so you can get a sense of the scale those face so this is the area that's directly outside the grouping of four to five classrooms for lower school gives the teachers the opportunity to break out areas where there can be desks seating that are project related and we don't we're not sure of the lockers one so this is really the neighborhood for the lower school for that for that that grouping of teachers they can keep kind of those one hundred students one hundred students this is kind of the front door to the to the home for those hundred so that leaving the lower school coming back into the central commons you get the sense of kind of looking out over the pond and you're right there would be a center portion of the open media commons for the whole building and beyond would be done the close portion up to the third floor that's one of the neighborhoods for the for the after school to the high school board or and you can see that we're trying to place the stairs at the end of the tours so that no matter where you are in the building you know sense of the outside since daylight and that even though it's a large school you're not going to get lost you're always going to know where you  my high school my first year it was it was all looped around a corner or yards and it was very you know wherever wherever you were because it was just all the same view every time around so it looks like this has different views every time it doesn't and really the spokes of the wheel they always come back to that central common multi story space and part of the function of multi story space is not just to create a kind of room that the scale of a large community of students but also to be a real way find  table at the same time as patrick said you could go through this door and you could experience your own walk through the space with the b r goggles and if you don't want to put the goggles on but you want to see the activity you know you have to do is watch the screen of the person that has the goggles on so it's actually being projected live too so it is very unique and i would get so that's that's right here if you want to see that this is a really big audience i would say that we could start that not on this job is not just us we have a of a force of people so we really do rely on them we have had several meetings maybe three meetings with them so far and they're back they're actually going four hundred students i think it's really important for a certain degree of great captains to know or are to be younger than our students who are coming into some degree in that school of over you know two thousand and twenty five hundred  stairwell it looks like some of them are really beautifully open and why they're not looks great i do have a sense from vertically how open they are because they know you know we've got a lot of levels we're talking about here and i'm pretty familiar with second graders if there's depending on how many floors are collected vertically there's a clear drop that becomes very attractive to the wrong things that are there but there you know that the way th stairs that are in the corners of the middle school and the what they use all time it's hard to monitor but he felt that the stairs were much better because they're in the open and so they're good more visible for monitoring anything you know the students feel like they're not not the high school and then we've utilizing our fire stairs as as a grass stairs so the idea was to make them transparent at the front so you don't have them maybe fire glasses they're going to be rated but they would be more like your the group if that's the area where the kids are congregating right outside those classrooms is that going to work or is that going to be so loud when there's a group there that the other four classrooms are rendered ineffective this is an enclosed space this is an enclosed space this is open to here but this overhangs it's again only her over the space so there's a roof to absorb sound but that is being looked at it needs we made the direction very clear so we understand the sensitivity we're working on it we're seeing a lot of spaces in a lot of our schools across the country in other schools around the country to have it's kind of acted in a nation you know common space is just more  are just to build on the concern about the cafeteria and open lively learning tolerance areas i think that what you're doing with the home base is really working imo but i feel like in those big open spaces chaotic and overwhelming need and i'm wondering if you can give us some context compared to the size of like the cafeteria and library at the high school currently how much bigger are these open spaces and are they maybe broken down more than just every one of the spaces is an all design project as you know you're an architect you know and we're going to go through that and bring down the scale because for example we know that the middle school might have some distinction here but it's going to probably bridge across there maybe layers through this area than are perpendicular to the glazing to break the scale we're going to need recycling we might have a kiosk or food there will be other larger elements in space to bring down we will not have one contiguous open space like that we just haven't gotten to the details there ok and do you think it would be possible previous to give us a sense of the scale of our current library and ca shown makes me nervous but i i totally get it that that will get to a point where it will feel you know starting to see the perspective ok great thank you about some comments from from the folks here ok really do appreciate that i do have a few questions about the windows so i am looking at the windows i have to agree with joe to stefano that i don't like any of them but i also to i also have a question about whether the sort of effort to look more playful on which i actually think looks less clean and less interesting than the straight lines are small i to incur greater cost on for in the construction kind of one up here and one down there and sort of a you know perhaps not symmetrical design and i think what you know the teachers what i'm hearing from the teachers is it want functionality they want right and views are great but i don't think he'd like a little sort of trance and window on top and then other windows if that's just to sort of make it look more interesting from the outside i mean i'm just one person but i think the clean lines look much better and i would like to endorse what diane miller said about using making it that some of the funkiness of the windows meaning it's going to look dated you know five years from it being open and if you do it you may you know sort of make it to sort of two thousand twenty so let's see i mean i wanted to talk a little bit about the entries for the community given as i understand the two primary entries to the building and i certainly understand the need for that for safety but there's perfect all over the place and right now if you come in for a community event you know you're you're not far from the entry and you can see the entry if you don't feel like you're parked on the back of the building and having to walk all the way around to get to the entry so and and and needing to come all the way around to get in there you know for a town meeting or for a show and you know you're getting you know you're prepared to whatever it is and so i don't know what the answer to that is but i wanted to and see the athletic areas you pointed out over here which makes sense but i'm also sort of wondering what the access of there is for fields and such and less so for the afternoon of their practices and stuff but in some of the physics classes want to go outside you don't have a huge amount of time to get from here to there and so i'm just wondering i don't need an answer but wondering what the thinking is about how some of those access outside so cafeteria i think you said it was open all the way to the middle school part of this is the high school part but if i know high school students they don't stay where they are for that matter neither do the middle schoolers so i'm wondering if there is a separation between the two just so that the middle school absolutely positively has their own space and it doesn't people of pride with high school students that my last one is about the buildings our historic buildings in the center of town and i love historical things that are on this side of the underpass and you know granted you're not building a building that's going to look like town hall but it's and it's huge and it's completely different but if there could be something because of some of that if it's at the entrance or something like that i mean i know that we're building a building at two thousand and twenty as opposed to one nine hundred twenty but this is i mean many different sizes and types that they have to have custom shades made for all of them there were they broke they couldn't replace them with spirit or sizes so it's better to keep it simple words keep everything more or less common school to cheat on the deficiency of the heating and cooling system because they can be opening windows when they should have one of the largest cost driving this in the future not just now the forever  mind that i think the police of that will be the students to some degree because they are really into this level of making sure the things are for sure so we're going to look into that we're not going to have a lot of locks and things on the windows that are automatic but we have to be able to open them for frustrating for architects who have so many creative ideas about space and why you have to slow and i see flowing children and railings overlooking a library which should be quiet with eighth graders above having their social and maybe a little traditional what goes on on the first floor is that why it's elevated yes there are different programs what's going on the first floor work you look at the plan the first floor has the civic and functions so you will have continue explore diktat so i think that the what we're hearing today and how maybe the work at the lower level some portion allows some coffee would be a more traditional appearance of the building rather than the mass sort of elevated above something a lot different from the bottom i think that's that could be something that we want to see as a option thank you and just to make it clear you're saying why is there an overhang because the first floor doesn't have enough programs to populate it all the way up to opportunity there for where the entrance you have a shelter if you have a good area of overhang that's nice for students to congregate before school or after school so there's some opportunity there that's achieved one of the concerns that down into the crazy box of a brutal a space you know like and they are and where you actually end up spending a lot of money a few years ago to put in aluminum greeting so that they could keep people from throwing themselves the death in the middle of the floor library so i'm sure that's a very morbid thought to be doing but it's a thought that i think of when three guards two very emotional teenagers and so i i get very best about open railings with kids around so i just wanted to make sure that i could express their concern now that there's only two stories obviously suicides are not teaching risk but you know injuries are definitely a hand i mean we had some of the starlog that's a very good point just on the wellington school with been the fact that if they do have you know openings of the second floor to look down the first floor and then there was a lot of passion about that and thoughtful have to be realistic that we're children go to malls and other places where the few stories three stories and four stories and the just one story it's going to be more of pranksters and another things and again i think john  try to spend a little more time on the suckers i think that's where most of our work is now the windows and the outside i think the inside with with just the teachers is good solid right there good things about it on the outside needs work and that's fine i mean i think meeting scheduled through the magic science mission and we have our traffic discussion on may sixteenth and then to get in these major topics for instance net zero discussion to get and june seventh is the proposed meeting and then we have another one june nineteenth at john's request to talk about schedule phasing sightly just six we'll have our construction manager on board that will really leave that discussion it's critical in all of our interviews that right everyone talked about that separation between construction and and teaching and learning that goes on and so we're going to make sure that's very clear on how that occurs with our contract we talk about that schedule by the way that didn't say all the contractors that they couldn't prove our schedule delivery of the building they're not making promises of a year better but they're talking months in other words we have this plan if you look at delivering a building and i will say today that they're saying we can pull it back now and we'll be looking at what that means in a matter of months and it also has to fit into the school year you know it's it's a tough task to turn over a building and say it's ready to move students in april and what was that need right for school committee and that's that's really tough so we're look at that in real time now we're going to look at how you start what the first activities are what are we doing in the summer we're going to be driving piles maybe that's a good opportunity to do that  students are not in the building so so that would be the nineteenth i just put that that's a that's a beating that's been confirmed and i suggesting it's a joint meeting for several reasons but most importantly for selectman and school committee the following meeting on prove that we said today we had a great staff meeting it was very positive it was shot i mean we we had a great dialogue they really like this so much better they thought that it really responds well to teaching and  learning they were happy to hear that john worked at getting square footage is old some square footage down there very happy to see that we responded with the cost coming down so together they made a recommendation to submit p s r number two which is essentially just taking the p s are taking this and putting it together formatted as one and that's what's going in tomorrow basically this co lead it in at the proper locations to revise package and so questions about that then i would like the committees each one to maybe a vote on approval this is just a documentation of all the public meetings that have progressed to get to this point it says that w
