To ensure that all Town buildings and facilities are in compliance with the <br /> requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. <br /> Summery of Facility Inventory with Projected Needs (see Map 1) <br /> Town Hall(see Map 2) <br /> Existing Facilities <br /> The Mashpee Town Hall is located on Great Neck Road North, in a building known as the <br /> Davis School in the historic center of Mashpee, The Davis School consisted of an original <br /> 1932 structure, a 1960 addition and "temporary" portable classrooms installed in 1973. In <br /> the early 1980's Town offices were moved into the Davis School building. <br /> g <br /> The following Town offices are located in Town Hall: Accountant, Assessors Board of <br /> Appeals, Board of Health, Building Department, Community Development, Conservation, <br /> Data Processing, Economic Development, Executive Secretary/Office of the Selectmen, <br /> Leisure Services, Maintenance, Personnel, Planning, Town clerk and Treasurer/Tax <br /> Collector. <br /> Although the building had received limited maintenance, including installation of new <br /> windows, a mayor renovation was required to meet the current needs of the Town. The <br /> Municipal Offices TaciUties Studv, prepared by Donham & Sweeney, Inc. in June 1995, <br /> suggested that the current 13,000 square feet be increased to 29,000 square feet. This <br /> figure was based on a space needs assessment for each Department with offices in Town <br /> Hall. The cost for the total expansion is an estimated $3.1 million. The Town Hall <br /> Building Committee recommended this expansion project be done in two phases to limit <br /> � <br /> development costs in the first phase to $1.5 million. <br /> This proposal will provide, by the fall of 1996, enough additional space to satisfy <br /> g p Y <br /> immediate future needs for all Town D is presentlyro rammed in the building <br /> P g g <br /> and provide for an increase t 000 t. Phase I, as designed by pro'ect <br /> architects Strekalovsky and Holt, Inc., will make use of the basement of the ori 'nal Davis <br /> School. A major component of Phase I is the removal of architectural barriers and <br /> complete compliance with American Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. The total <br /> estimated cost associated with removal of architectural barriers, including the installation <br /> of an elevator, is $348,048, funded through a grant from the Massachusetts Community <br /> Development Block Grant Program: Community Development Fund. <br /> Projected Needs in 2004 <br /> The expansion planned for the second phase is expected around the year 2006. Therefore <br /> ore <br /> planning should begin by 2004. This expansion will add 10,000 square feet to the 1996 <br /> project, for a total of 29,000 square feet. Estimated cost of this phase is $1.6 million. <br /> Other general maintenance should be conducted as part of the secondP hase to minimize <br /> disruption to Town business. A nature trail may be considered for the wooded area <br /> behind Town Hall, <br /> Projected Needs in Buildout <br /> When buildout approaches, if the space within Town Hall does not meet the <br /> recommendations of the 5-year space needs assessment being proposed in this plan, <br /> 3 <br />
