temporary use by grades 7 & 8 but are funding it as a high school at 155 sq feet per student at $145 . Items which could be an issue , in the core - library , cafeteria, auditorium, gym stations . Paul said in the year 2 , 000 projections for 9-12 , 771 students , 7-12 is 1260 so we are already maxed out. Realistically, we could get by through the year 2 , 000 with grades 7-12 . Grades 9-12 , high growth, even at 2012 we still have enough room. If we say 1180 now, we have two choices down the line, we can pull out the excess students or there are some components of the core which don 't get bigger when student population goes up, once you hit a plateau . If you build the 1180 core, and if we have to add a wing to the building to increase to 1350 students , what impact does it have on the core? The cafeteria may be a problem but the kitchen could handle it. Maybe we should still leave the option open for an addition on the building . The cheapest thing to do is add classroom space (as opposed to building another school ) . Steve Greelish said the NASDAC figures the State has is 900 , for 7-12 . They have negotiated up to this number based on information we have provided. They compromised between the 900 and 1350 . Bill Jones said we can stretch this out re : the amount of room we finish and amount of equipment we buy so we don ' t have extra capital costs. There needs to be discussion on a better fit of construction program, demographics and economics - that is work for the architects . Decide on the core first, get a consensus of the Committee as to the size of the core we build. ** Merry Sue made a motion that the school we build have a core facility, including the cafeteria, library and the gyms for 1 , 180 students. Bill Jones seconded the motion . Discussion: Paul suggested the motion be amended to say that is our recommendation to the designer, we should leave it open for their opinion . ** Motion as amended : 6 members in favor (Merry Sue , Janice, Bill Jones , Bill Martiros , Peter, Paul Griffin) 1 opposed (Steve Greelish) . Square footage - 1 , 180 students x 155 sq feet = 182 , 900 gross sq feet. Dr. Collabro used a net to gross of 1 .4, for hallway , circulation. DRA used 1 . 3 . The State will approve the gross sq footage . If we can design under 1 .4, we will get more net usable sq footage for whatever we want. How many classrooms will be build for? 1 , 180 students, or less. The architect will want to know our criteria. Why wouldn ' t you build classrooms for 1 , 180? There is a tradeoff with other facilities i .e pool . Steve asked what the 1.180 represents? Does it include Cape Cod Tech? Peter said it is a figure grounded in politics . They split the difference in a range in numbers. How/why would we build for 1 , 180? Year 2 , 000 grades 7- 12 1 , 180 is OK Year 2001 grades 7- 12 1 , 348 students . 3
