Peter said Sept. 1996 is our goal for opening of the school but <br /> we will not sacrifice quality of the building. The Committee is <br /> shooting for that date but people assume we will be cutting <br /> corners and the building won't last. <br /> Mr. Flockhart stated they did a project in Lowell , 500 ,000 sq <br /> feet of renovation, $30 million . They were hired in February to <br /> submit drawings for June 1 and they were able to do it. They did <br /> that simultaneously with the Marthas Vineyard High School project <br /> - they did them both . <br /> David Finney added that you have to identify the political <br /> constituencies, so no one is left out. Design Partnership will <br /> want to know if it is going to take longer for the community to <br /> come to a consensus. That has to be identified up front. <br /> Community issues will make the project take longer. <br /> Steve Greelish said he got the impression they have a lot of <br /> irons in the fire, what is your work load? <br /> Mr. Flockhart said Drakett high school is their biggest project . <br /> It is in the construction document phase and will be completed in <br /> mid May, when Mashpee will be in the design development phase. <br /> Construction document phase is labor intensive , while the <br /> schematic design for Mashpee is mostly work with the principals <br /> and associates . <br /> Steve asked about their CAD capabilities. <br /> Mr. Constable sid they are 75-80% on computer. They have <br /> introduced it gradually. <br /> Steve asked if they can give us a walkthrough, an animation? <br /> They said they can. <br /> Michael Pare asked if they do all high tech work in house or use <br /> an outside consultant? <br /> They do all educational technology in house. The owner may want <br /> training and they would use a consultant. <br /> Bill Martiros asked if a large field house is desirable over 2 <br /> gyms? <br /> Mr. Flockhart said a large field house is more desirable. <br /> Mashpee does not have a large enough student body. <br /> Bill asked how many sq feet were cut from Dr. Collabro's ed specs <br /> with their suggestions? <br /> Mr. Flockhart said he did not look at that total sq feet, jus the <br /> individual examples . <br /> Bill mentioned to them that the State may cut the student body <br /> back to 1180, because they only will consider 5 year projections . <br /> Mr. Flockhart said that is the first time he has heard that. <br /> Until now, they would only consider 10 year projections. <br /> Bill asked if is desirable to have the superintendents office in <br /> the high school and how much space should be allotted for that? <br /> They did not have enough information to answer that question , i .e <br /> size of staff , etc. <br /> Nancy Caffyn asked if the swimming pool at Marthas Vineyard was <br /> approved? <br /> 11 <br />
