a more central position . <br /> - They looked at reducing the roof system, there is now a flat roof system <br /> on the gym area and the academic wings is a single slope , not double slope . <br /> Norris also presented pictures of materials for consideration . <br /> Paul asked what the premium is for the front section ( arrowhead) of the <br /> building'.-,, What do we pay for the shape and style of it? <br /> Ed responded that to make the entire building cubic , the potential savings <br /> is only 4-5% . To merge that front shape and make it more rectangular , <br /> would be less than 1 / of the cost. <br /> Paul asked what the sq footage cost of that space i s , because of its style'? <br /> Norris said the style is consistent throughout the building , the geometry <br /> is a little different . <br /> Ed suggested it adds about 50 cents per sq foot . His feeling is it is a <br /> handsome building but not unusual , without that administration space . <br /> Janice likes the refinement of the shape, it is not as sharp . <br /> Ed said sharp is exciting but net easy to occupy , The actual bu i 1 d i ng <br /> envelope now cuts back but the roof pear is sharp , <br /> The adm i n i s t rat'i on area is a. flat. roof F <br /> Bill said the roof on the academic area wasn ' t bad , he is disappointed with <br /> this one . He can ' t make an informed decision because he doesn ' t know the <br /> cost of that roof vs . this one . <br /> Ed said their took a. building that was over budget and they simplified i t. <br /> There i8 no question this costs less that the previous building design . <br /> Dr . DeMoura said SMMA PreViOUSly has said there is no cost difference <br /> between a -Fla-.F. roof and a pitched , it is a wash . <br /> He stron-,gly strop-, lurges the Committee to consider the pitched roof t <br /> Ed explained the academic wing is a single pitch , it is not flat . <br /> Steve said the roof material will have a big effect on the war it looks . <br /> Norris explained they have taken the value engineering comments and they <br /> are trying to accommodate them. They can add in things they feel strongly <br /> about. <br /> Joe asked if this is the building for Mashpee? Is this what the architects <br /> want to pursue? why does the building look this way? <br /> Peter noted when you approach the academic wing it appears to be a flat <br /> roof , can they put the pitch the other war? <br /> Ed gage his thoughts on aesthetics , which are not unlike politics . To get <br /> beyond 50/50 , up to 80 consensus of the population , to appeal to that many <br /> people it will be med l oc re architecture . <br /> Paul asi<ed if they have compromised the design of the roofs to meet the <br /> budget or are we finding value in what we ' re changing? <br /> Norris said there are budget constraints . loilhen they explored the entire <br /> des i gn , it) terms of scale and proportion , this is what they want to see . <br /> 6 <br />
