Justin from TBA architects outlined updates to the floor plans based upon feedback from prior meetings. The restroom block in the floor plans was pushed back to create more lobby space so that a screening wall could be added in front of the public restrooms blocking them from lobby view. Also the restroom doors were turned to a wall perpendicular to the screening wall to increase privacy. . At the staff bathroom location some tightening of the design took place and an alcove outside of the staff restrooms was created to host a few staff lockers. In response to a question Justin showed the options in the lobby where solid walls exist and where displays could be versus where fire alarm panel and related equipment could be located. The height of the lobby screen wall was discussed and it was noted that it would be a full height wall. In response to an inquiry about keeping diesel fumes and other fumes from the garage space out of the staff and public spaces, several elements were discussed.The use of merve 16 filters,the maintenance of positive pressure in the staff and public spaces and negative pressure in the garage spaces. Additionally it was discussed that adding an additional door in the hallway between staff and garage and creating an air lock might be a good idea. The Architect acknowledged this idea and thinks it should be implemented. It was noted that the door to the emergency elec room needed to swing out. Justin walked everyone thru the rest of the plans, including a reminder on the three zones, public, staff and garage and answered any remaining questions on the floor plans. Presenting the updated building elevations TBA outlined a bit more detail on the front entry including a a more defined canopy roof over the front doors and the incorporation of a wing wall from the front canopy extending outward perpendicular to the front approach walk. There were also two other locations were a building wall was extended ( half height)to help define the overall image. Also presented was a logic to the panel size spacing and rhythm as it was explained and based in part on the rhythm of the window wall and interior work spaces. 201 BEDFORD STREET• LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420
