they see the program they can specifically see how the area is <br /> best used. <br /> Bob Whritenour asked about the conceptual rending of the High <br /> School . Could they take us briefly through the merits of this <br /> type of design? <br /> Mr. Hoit explained it is not just a huge block structure. In <br /> this design every teaching station has windows that open to allow <br /> for circulation . They minimize the flat roof area. They tried <br /> to create the scale of a village. <br /> Mr. Whritenour asked if they made any major functional sacrifices <br /> for this design vs. the traditional compact design? <br /> Mr. Hoit aid no. The sketch was just to give the Committee a <br /> sense of their thoughts on the design . They do advocate pitched <br /> roof and natural light. <br /> Al Polsi asked what they would consider the cost effectiveness of <br /> that design to be, would that design cost more? <br /> Mr. Hoit said it would not have a higher cost. It is very <br /> appropriate for a 1350 pupil high school . The lowest cost is a <br /> shoebox with a lot of interior space but then there are added <br /> mechanical costs for interior ventilation and air conditioning. <br /> THE DESIGN PARTNERSHIP OF CAMBRIDGE <br /> Present were Doug Flockhart, founder, David Finney , Bill <br /> Brainard, Peter Constable from TDPC and Peter Evans from <br /> Universal Engineering and Roger Kallstrom, Landscape Architect. <br /> Mr. Flockhart said the firm was founded in 1980 . Prior to that <br /> he was a Vice President at Earl Flansburg . He designed 7 high <br /> schools with that firm. He also wrote 3 sets of educational <br /> specs for Flansburg. He has since written 7 specs for high <br /> schools and middle schools with Design Partnership. <br /> He asked the Committee to remember 3 words which are the key to <br /> their approach - choice, balance and context. <br /> The key issue effecting Mashpee's project are educational <br /> technology, site planning issues and project management and <br /> project control . <br /> He presented examples of their previous work (some while he was <br /> with Flansburg) . <br /> - Marlboro High school for 2 , 800 students. 3 houses , each with <br /> an administration center . Very compact, circulation is limited. <br /> An efficient net to gross ratio. Auditorium' s back wall are <br /> demountable but fixed seating reduces flexibility. <br /> - Methuen - 2 , 500 student. 8 teaching station field house and a <br /> hockey rink larger than Boston Garden . <br /> - Pittsfield- addition and renovation including a pool and TV <br /> studio. <br /> - Rockport high school - 180 , 000 sq ft of new construction. <br /> Community use spaces, auditorium used extensively. 450 seats, <br /> lighting system for theater, removable seats , tiered seating in <br /> 6 <br />
