has this changed their approach? <br /> Bob said the pitches are not so great they cannot provide roof top <br /> equipment. HVAC will be the same. All the larger units are in the back and <br /> will only be seen from the fields. <br /> Bill said he is concerned about the point on the administration area. <br /> Ray said they presented several schemes to the Committee. They resolved <br /> the programmatic issues while designing a building that reflects Cape Cod <br /> and at the same time included some forward reaching geometry and <br /> architecture. This is the architectural team's recommendation for the <br /> building and they need consensus from the Committee. <br /> George Costa suggested a canvas canopy. He saw one on a brick building <br /> that looked gorgeous. <br /> Ray said they will study the canopy area. <br /> Joe said the height needs to be addressed. <br /> He is still concerned about the cafeteria roof, where it joins with the <br /> auditorium. What do they propose for snow and ice removal . <br /> Ray said if they decide to go in that direction, he can show technically <br /> how it will work. There will be internal roof drains. <br /> Nancy asked if the cafeteria being under the canopy will limit the light? <br /> Ray said there is glass high on the wall and glass on the backside of the <br /> cafeteria which will also bring in light. <br /> Ray explained how the cafeteria functions as a breakout space for the <br /> theater and gym. <br /> Peter said Plymouth South high school has a similar design. You get a lot <br /> of open space without having to pay for it because it functions as a <br /> cafeteria. <br /> Nancy asked if there will be any sound issues? <br /> Ray said there are no classrooms off of the cafeteria or above it. It is <br /> about 1 1/2 stories high. <br /> Nancy said the foyer doesn 't seem adequate. <br /> Ray explained, for security reasons, they want people who enter to be <br /> compelled to go into the office first. For other functions - gym or <br /> theater, the cafeteria serves as the open space. <br /> Greg noted in many schools the students are channeled through the front <br /> entrance requiring a lot of space and that is not the case here. <br /> Nancy said this does not appear to be a school that wants students to go <br /> outside, there is a obsession with security, that is sad. <br /> Ray explained they tried to not have a "back" to the building. The east <br /> elevation is the "back" . <br /> The elevations show the building built with red brick. <br /> Peter polled the Committee on the design. <br /> Bill said he would rather see 3-D to get a better handle on the design. He <br /> has a lot of problems with the canopy. Sloping roof (of the canopy) looks <br /> like a gas station. <br /> Ray asked if they lowered the canopy would the Committee like it? <br /> They would like to see it. <br /> The pitching up of the canopy forces you outside when in the cafeteria. <br /> They can add a weather canopy at the 8-10 foot level . <br /> 4 <br />
