Motion was seconded and approved. Westview Cemetery Building project update. Justin Humphreys from TBA architects was present to provide an update on the status of the project. The current building design is approx. 4,100 sf of which approx. half of that square footage is garage space. The project is based upon the findings of a 2016 study that showed that the existing facility does not support the needs of the community, staff and daily operations that need to take place there. The overall cemetery site was shown to be only half developed and contain the existing building. A portion of the undeveloped section of the project, next to the existing animal control building and facing Westview Street, will be cleared to support the new building. Once complete and occupied the existing building can be removed and that area returned to cemetery use. The floor plans were reviewed. There were two aspects of the layout or design of the floor plan that were discussed. The first is that the building has three distinct areas or zones of use. Public/Visitor, Staff/Administrative and Back of house/field operations. The plan layout demonstrates these zones and helps define those spaces. The second Characteristic is the design of the feature wall the cuts thru the building and effectively sections the building into Front of house and back of house. This feature wall provides a visual element through the public space and continues through the administrative space. A prior comment on the floor plan was to maximize the use of daylight.TBA advised that plan adjustments had been made from that input. The building elevations were reviewed and it was discussed that the design elevations as presented were not yet fully updated to reflect the most current plan details such as fenestrations. The architect explained that given the start and stop history of the project various elements of the work are at different levels of completion as the project has had numerous points of adjustment. The Project Schedule slide was presented and showed a goal of 90%Construction Documents by December 2020, bidding by late January 2021, Construction start by March 2021 and completion by December 2021 with the Public works Cemetery staff moving in by the start of 2022. 201 BEDFORD STREET• LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420
