years, previously worked with Earl Flansburg and worked on 3 <br /> schools with that firm. He was the Chairman of a school building <br /> committee in his home town of Essex.

The Brookline school had a 20 person <br /> committee and a consensus was difficult to achieve; you want <br /> everyone behind it. Besides Mashpee, there is the Cape Cod <br /> Commission, state agencies and environmental notification <br /> procedure to address. <br /> The Lincoln school , was laid out so the community can use a <br /> portion of it while other facilities are locked off.

The consultant team has worked with Graham <br /> Gund and on other high school projects. <br /> Schedule: they work with a cost consultant, even before the <br /> schematic design. It is important there be sufficient time for <br /> everyone involved to review the documents in each phase. <br /> Operating Cost and Energy Management: they study the <br /> configuration and orientation of the sun for natural lighting and <br /> skylighting. When possible they use local materials to cut down <br /> on transportation costs. Air quality, HVAC- they exceed the <br /> State standards for air exchange. Each room should have <br /> individual heating and ventilation controls. Groundwater- <br /> possibility of re-use/recycling of waster water. <br /> Graham Gund reviewed the site.
