DESIGN PROGRESS <br /> Ed Frenett.e stated they have developed several designs , to date , <br /> and gotten feedback . Two weeks ago they got the message the <br /> Committee wanted more things explored . Today they have come back <br /> with more materials . After they reach agreement with the <br /> Committee , they will develop the materials boards for the next <br /> meeting . They hope to reach closure on design development in the <br /> next 2 weeks with the progress from today ' s meeting . <br /> He added it is clear the furniture plan and the contract document <br /> plan will proceed on 2 different schedules . SMMA cannot get <br /> enough furniture information , the subcommittee will need input <br /> from SMMA. That process will not be done in 2 weeks . <br /> Ray said today they are prepared to make a recommendation on <br /> materials and presented 2 material schemes : <br /> a. all brick building <br /> b. block and siding of wood or vinyl . <br /> Committee reviewed design changes : <br /> Because the core academic areas are the most public , they get the <br /> gabled roof . Developed off of that spine , is the <br /> library/administration area and the 2 academic wings . The scale <br /> of the administration/ library has been downplayed . <br /> The looked at using 2 different kinds of windows to break up <br /> repetition . <br /> Ed said they are recommending the brick . They did a test in <br /> their office on what is Cape Cod . The people who live here <br /> thought it was the brick , the people who visit, thought it was the <br /> wood and block . <br /> Bill said he thought the cafeteria area stands out, doesn ' t fit <br /> in . <br /> Ed said they is what they want it to do, that is the intent , for <br /> it to stand out. <br /> Joe asked if they are trying to get a New England feel ? <br /> Ed said they are . while some people feel grey is Cape Cod others <br /> think brick reads Cape Cod in a different way . <br /> Joe said the cafeteria seems out of touch . <br /> Janice disagrees. <br /> Ed said they are trying to achieve contrast . <br /> Ray explained the building is being designed also for the <br /> interior space . The interior is at least as important . The <br /> canopy over the cafeteria provides a sunscreen and weather <br /> protection . <br /> Ed added the majority of public will enter in the evening hours . <br /> The cafeteria is open and inviting and will glow in the evening . <br /> Materials : <br /> 3 <br />
