Ray Bordwell said from the meeting , they will get a sense of what Mashpee <br /> is about and from looking at other buildings in town. <br /> Mr. Frenette added he attempts to give people things that can ' t be <br /> quantified . All the best things in life can ' t be quantified ( love, <br /> marriage, children) . These things will be described differently here than <br /> somewhere else. This team will jump into Mashpee and get a sense of what it <br /> is about. They will involve the public through the Charette process. They <br /> are inviting the Committee to edit the document. <br /> Office Space for Leisure Services : Gus Fredricks suggested a small office <br /> near the gym and fitness center with some nearby classroom space . He needs <br /> areas for community use while the rest of the building is closed off . <br /> Presently , his program uses 5 or 6 classrooms . In the future , they will <br /> probably need at least 10 classrooms. <br /> Dr. DeMoura would like the community use limited to the High School so only <br /> 1 building needs to be opened after hours. <br /> Ray Bordwell will add 1 office at 100 sq feet , in proximity to athletics <br /> but accessible to a controlled point of entry . <br /> ** The Committee agreed to add this 100 sq foot Leisure Service office <br /> to the program. ** <br /> The Committee discussed the possibility of another use for that office <br /> during the day . Dr . DeMoura reminded everyone if it is not doubled up with <br /> a program use, it is not reimbursable . <br /> Library : the town has decided it won ' t eliminate the present library but <br /> should this library be accessible to the public? <br /> Merry Sue noted we will then have to pay someone to supervise it. <br /> Dr. DeMoura told the Committee that he does not want too many outside <br /> doers . Ray Bordwell agreed . <br /> Dr. Calabro just completed a study where the school ' s library was open to <br /> the public. He read from it " theft or loss of books totals about $15 , 000 <br /> every two years , it occurs during the day and after hours . The situation <br /> must be remedied . " <br /> Steve Greelish said access to this area, because it houses the multi media <br /> computers, is very important. <br /> Tom explained the High School in Michigan provided facilities for small <br /> business, after school hours. <br /> Ed Frenette asked if anyone had any potential reductions? <br /> Merry Sue thought the shared facilities were excessive . It could be one per <br /> house , rather than two. It will be amended to 2 at 1 , 200 sq ft saving 800 <br /> sq feet . <br /> Bill Martiros asked about the need for 4 guidance offices? Dr. DeMoura said <br /> there should be 1 per 250 students , so in his opinion 4 is not enough . <br /> Library : is there a formula for the amount of books it should have? Dr . <br /> Calabro said there is and he will get it to SMMA. <br /> Classroom adjoining the library - 800 sq feet. This is not a dedicated <br /> teaching space . Does it need storage space? Merry Sue said it does need a <br /> second access so, under space constraints , it can be used as a classroom. <br /> ** The Committee agreed this room does not need storage space. ** <br /> The Committee discussed the size of the main room and amount of seats. <br /> Dr . Calabro explained the standard size for a library is 10-15% of the <br /> student body x 40 sq feet = main room. <br /> 5 <br />
