Britten program: after last week 's quick calculations , upon review , the <br /> program is larger than they thought last week. It is about 2 ,000 sq feet <br /> over. <br /> Bill Hauck joined the meeting . He suggested the architect talk with all <br /> department heads , have 1 meeting for review of the site plan . Ian can set <br /> up the meeting. <br /> Paul suggested they think about scheduling a date soon, so everyone will <br /> have sufficient notice. <br /> Written program: Ed suggested the Committee go through the program and try <br /> to reduce the space. They are using a 1 . 35 conversion rate which is the <br /> lowest they can achieve. <br /> Paul Griffin said he has a problem with the 1 . 35 . The mechanical and <br /> electrical equipment rooms are pulled out of the factor , and usually are in <br /> the factor, so it is not really 1 . 35 . <br /> Mr. Frennette said that is true. They believe it becomes cloudy to have to <br /> many things in the grossing factor . There was no intent to mislead you . <br /> They can calculate it both ways . <br /> Paul said he does not have a problem with them listing the items but the <br /> Committee talked about whether it is achievable to go below 1 .40 . The <br /> Committee is concerned that above 1 . 35 the circulation space it too <br /> generous . Stating 1 . 35 now would lead the Committee to believe we are on <br /> target but with those items pulled out, we are not. This gives people the <br /> impression we have saved 5% on this plan. <br /> Ray said it was the consensus of the Committee that we put down all the <br /> apace, so no space gets lost. <br /> Mr . Frennette said next week they will calculate it both ways . <br /> Bill Martiros suggested eliminating the large group classroom at 1 , 700 sq <br /> feet. There is an auditorium, cafeteria and gym that could meet this need . <br /> Peter asked the Committee if they want to get back down to the target? <br /> Should we agonize over 2 , 000 sq feet or wait for budget information from <br /> Ian? <br /> Ray said the Committee should reach a consensus of the size they are <br /> comfortable with . The architects feel the net program is a little too big . <br /> (Janice Mills joined the meeting . ) <br /> Ian said he is concerned about the additional 2 , 000 sq feet. He is sure <br /> other things will creep in and by the next stage it may be over by a larger <br /> amount. <br /> Mr. Frennette said his professional recommendation is to identify an area <br /> contingency. This classroom is in the heart of the building and it can ' t be <br /> pulled out of the design easily . He did suggest the auxiliary gym and some <br /> number of seats in the auditorium, those are 2 expensive areas . <br /> He does recommend the building be under 183 , 000 right now and that area <br /> contingencies be identified. It was decided two meetings ago that the pool <br /> and administration offices are above the 183 , 000 . <br /> 4ay said there is 35 sq feet of storage with every classroom, do you want <br /> to reduce the classrooms to 750-760 sq feet, that would save 1 , 750 sq feet? <br /> 3 <br />
