In pursuing your charge, our team has thus far <br /> evaluated seven alternative plans, three exterior architectural designs, extensive sewage systems, and <br /> over 100 materials,finishes and systems, exceeding $4,800,000 in value. Before we can successfully <br /> complete this task, we must agree on a few basics. <br /> • A Quality Basic High School according to the State of Massachusetts, includes primarily <br /> academic,arts and athletic teaching stations in a sound structure and some alternatives such as: <br /> accommodation of special soil, acoustic or sewage conditions; contextually responsive exterior <br /> treatments, i.e., decorative brick, sloped roofs, etc.; natural light in all classrooms; interior and <br /> exterior athletic facilities in excess of the minimum; swimming pools; air conditioning; <br /> especially durable or decorative floor, wall or ceiling systems; special energy conservation <br /> systems; special space for technology. <br /> The State guidelines assumes that every community will choose a sound site adjacent to utilities <br /> and will augment the State's funding with additional funds to cover the cost of the items <br /> mentioned above. <br /> Quality can be added to the project by the community by further increasing the budget. Quality <br /> can also be added by the architect by successfully designing the most appropriate alternatives <br /> listed above. <br /> • The cost of a basic high school has escalated according to the State, by a minimum of 4.5% <br /> ($905,850). All other sources, such as the cost estimators working on our other eight school <br /> projects, are assuming a 6% increase in cost($1,207,800). <br /> 1000 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge .
