What ways are there to save energy on the things which cost money <br /> to run the building. They look for rebate programs. <br /> Mr. Hoit said they have a copy of Mashpee's educational specs, as <br /> it exists today. They have worked closely with educators turning <br /> the specs into a cohesive "plant" for the school . Their projects <br /> have ranged from 135-155 sq feet per pupil . <br /> They have worked on over 21 high school projects in Mass . <br /> Medford high for 3, 500 students and Braintree for 2 ,800 . Mr. <br /> Hoit was the architect for those projects. <br /> They have done a lot of site development work. They work hard to <br /> retain as much of the character of the site, the natural <br /> vegetation . The Mashpee site is full of "outdoor classroom <br /> possibilities" . <br /> - Tantasqua High School in Sturbridge was finished 2-3 months <br /> ahead of schedule and under budget. 18 years later the materials <br /> used are all in good shape, including carpeting used in the <br /> corridors. <br /> - Medford High - precast, poured in place concrete. Was built on <br /> quarry. Includes a swimming pool . The phys ed is all inside <br /> because there was no room outside. It won a national design <br /> award. <br /> - Mashpee Middle School addition . They were hired in July with <br /> the expectation the addition open 1 year, 1 month later. They <br /> have received feedback from the teachers that it is bright, <br /> cheerful classroom spaces. They worked hard to touch base with <br /> all town agencies. <br /> Mashpee High School project - <br /> Mr. Bradford and Mr. Hoit spent some time on the site and looked <br /> at some configurations. Mr. Bradford said it is a beautiful site, <br /> densely wooded with a lot to offer. <br /> They plugged in the program to see what the site limits would be. <br /> Existing conditions : densely wooded site. Utilities available on <br /> 151 (gas and water) 50 mph on Rte 151 so access should be from <br /> Old Barnstable Rd. Power line easement through the site. <br /> Pockets of wetland area. Quashnet River, could offer a benefit <br /> to the school facility . <br /> Solar orientation - they charted the sun path . They showed the <br /> severe dropoff on the site and proposed setbacks. You could go <br /> into the drop off area but what are the economic tradeoffs. <br /> Program requirements: extensive playfields . The architect wants <br /> to be sure the site is supportive of the facility - the type and <br /> size you have planned. Strekalovsky and Hoit feel strongly that <br /> it is. <br /> There is the issue of the electro magnetic fields, how far away <br /> do you want to stay away from them. <br /> They have an excellent record for good, thorough contract <br /> documents. <br /> 2 <br />
