DISCUSSION WITH ARCHITECT Today ' s discussion is primarily on roofs . They brought a model with various roofs . Ed Frenette suggested the committee meet with the architects every two weeks , going forward . The design team needs more than 4 days between meetings . He also suggested the next meeting be on Wednesday , July 6th instead of Tues , the 5th . THERE Is No MEETING NEXT WEEK (JUNE s ) . The next scheduled meeting is Wednesday , July 6th , with the architects . The Tuesday , July 12th meeting is committee only . Flay said they have addressed the concerns from last week -- secondary entry , extra room in the health suite , roofs . The next step will be to blow up the floor plan to review hallway , door locations , etc . Presently , the sq . footage is 182 , 500 , without the sewage treatment plant. + Michael Pare asked for small prints of the layout for subcommittee use . Ray presented a rendering of the 7 & 8th grade secondary entry . He said they are happy with it . The material has not yet been decided . It is all a function of dollars . The way it is drawn on this plan , the roofing material is preform metal panels. Paul ' s concerns about metal are the noise during rain and corrosion problems from acid rain . Norris McLeod said they have used it on 4 schools . with a kynar finish it holds up well . Ray presented models to look at the different roof forms . He prepared a vaulted , long house roof . Bill Martiros doesn ' t think the "arrow" portion of the building has that much significance Ed Frenette said they are looking for a shape which " invites" you into bath entrances and if they can , they will try to provide some symbolism. Peter mentioned that Joan Tavares was sensitive about the arrowhead symbolism'. Ed suggested the design team study i t. It does not "have to be" this form. Ray said today the roof shapes are more important* They would like to come to closure on the roof He presented the other choices : an off center , sloped , cape cod roof . The slope works nice with the dining area and will work well with the theater -� higher roof over the stage Paul asked about cost between this and vaulted roof? Ray said he does not think there is much difference between the two.. Ray then presented a roof , moving the peak back to the center , this give a typical , gabled roof . This i s Ray and Ed ' s least favorite . It does not say Cape cod. Janice 1iIces the off center peak because of the possibilities in the theater ; it lends itself to what is needed . Pau-1 thought the vaulted roof looks like there are additions to the building . 2
