t r ti. <br /> • It is good for security, could open only one cluster for night <br /> community school use. <br /> - Ring corridor, compact organization . Classrooms would be on <br /> the outside to get natural light. Some spaces may be harder to <br /> control the access. More efficient to run. Dr. DeMoura <br /> mentioned it may lead to. air quality problems down the road. <br /> - Courtyard, could be a series of courtyards . There is <br /> efficiency of circulation. Courtyard environment is enjoyable but <br /> may be distracting to classrooms. <br /> - Campus layout, building connected only by walkways. See this <br /> layout more in southern climates. Supervision could be a problem. <br /> Dr. DeMoura stated the building has to be community accessible. <br /> He likes the idea of all classrooms having access to outside <br /> window space. Layout #2 it may be difficult to maintain everyone <br /> in their "house" . <br /> Mr. Franceschi stated the more compact the building the more it <br /> has to be on one level . <br /> Bill Jones mention it will be used as a junior/senior high at <br /> first and will want to keep those groups separated . <br /> That becomes a problem for the principal , you don't want to <br /> design the building for that. <br /> Orientation of the site will also effect choice of schemes. <br /> • There is a wide spread of construction costs in these layouts. <br /> Mr. Franceschi asked the Committee what they envision presenting <br /> to town meeting (for the building)? <br /> The Committee agreed a "block" with very little information about <br /> the building itself. The block must be identical for both sites. <br /> The Committee reviewed the reduced building layouts on the <br /> various site plans. <br /> The Committee discussed the type of information to be presented <br /> at the informational meetings. <br /> Bill Jones stated it can be approached the same way it was for <br /> the Middle school addition , they prepared a 5 page handout with <br /> graphs showing the need, demographics and the solution. Chairman <br /> Dinizio then reviewed it page by page at town meeting. <br /> Ms. Ahlgren suggested taking this to a smaller group first to see <br /> the responses and give the Committee a lead of where to go with <br /> the presentation. <br /> Mr. Greelish agreed the PTO is an appropriate first meeting and <br /> then go onto a larger forum. The Committee can present what they <br /> are doing now and how they are doing it. <br /> The open forum meeting can be announced at the October town <br /> meeting. <br /> • <br /> 3 <br />
