There will be a $350, 000 savings using block over brick. <br /> Mr. McCue asked if that includes the waterproofing? <br /> Phil said that will not add much . They are still exploring various blocks . <br /> Paul said before proceeding with the block the Committee needs to see a <br /> good rendering of what block will look like. <br /> Janice would like to see a close up of the front entrance as well . <br /> Paul said Mark Chen said he would do some details of the block. <br /> Ed said they reviewed and discussed whether they need to animate the <br /> entrance and feel it is inviting enough , fine the way it is. <br /> They are not prepared to elaborate on the block tonight. <br /> Paul explained the Selectmen need to see what it will look like in block <br /> and a sample before they approve it. <br /> Peter said it is an image problem. They have to sell the rest of the town <br /> that block will look good. <br /> The Committee also wants a list of buildings where they could view the red <br /> block . <br /> DINING AREA CEILING <br /> SMMA presented a sketch of the two ceiling choices. They recommend making <br /> it a totally exposed structural system, do away with all grillage and save <br /> $19 ,000 . <br /> Merry Sue asked about the sound? <br /> Ed said they can use acoustical deck , sound will be about the same. <br /> They will organize the pipes , conduit, etc so it is concealed and neat. <br /> Bill said at the schools they visited , they saw some cafeterias like this <br /> and it looked like a factory . <br /> Peter asked why the posts are there? He thought it would be more open <br /> space? <br /> Ed explained they are needed to support the roof. The columns divide the <br /> corridor from the dining area, they are 12 feet apart. <br /> **The Committee agreed to the ceiling change and to take the entire $19 ,000 <br /> in savings.** <br /> Paul said there is concern about the servery area, Perkins and Will was <br /> going to do a sketch . <br /> Ed presented a sketch . He explained there will be a maximum of 400 <br /> students going in and 400 going out of the cafeteria. There are 2 feeder <br /> corridors, 10 feet wide and a 12 foot wide corridor in front. <br /> Merry Sue said the people from the second floor have only 1 staircase to <br /> come down - is there enough ways to get them up and down? <br /> Phil said there are 4 stair cases, if there is a bottleneck at one, <br /> students will find another route. The stair capacity between floors is <br /> adequate. <br /> Merry Sue said students will most likely be coming from 1 wing of the <br /> school - it is a concern. <br /> Phil said the 4 egress stairs are sized per code - based on sq footage <br /> occupancy. The code forces them to over design. <br /> (Peter left the meeting at 6 :40 p.m. ) <br /> Joe asked how they can treat that corridor in front of the dining area, <br /> 7 <br />
