Police Station Project (Joint Meeting with Historical District Committee, HDC) — Jeff McElravv (Tecton Architects), Chief Mark Corr (Lexington Police) Jeff presented the three Conceptual Design Options to HDC for staying at the current Massachusetts (Mass.) Avenue location or relocating to the 173 Bedford Street location. Jeff stressed that these are very conceptual designs. Key features are noted below: Option 1 & Option 2- Mass. Ave. Location There are many similarities in both options. A renovation project in the existing building would trigger new building code requirements that could have a significant impact on the scope and cost of the renovations work. Height of the ceiling for basement use is a concern. Placing cell blocks in the basement requires at least a 10 foot ceiling height. The current height is 8 ft. For locker use in the basement, it is recommended to have a higher floor to ceiling height for ventilation. • How best to preserve the amount of parking, possible moving of the Hosmer House, and preservation of the green space area was discussed • Sallyport and Prisoner areas would all be kept on one side of the building and a nine bay indoor parking for cruisers, along with maintenance, would be out back. Option 2 reflects a Sallyport with a drive through built on the side. • The 2nd floor would house administration, investigation and an evidence room. • Pro's and Con's for both Option 1 and 2 are similar as presented. #1 Probable Projects Cost show $25,397,762 and #2 Probable Projects Cost show $23,843,542. • The Mass Ave. allows Police Headquarters to keep its in -town relationship that they currently have with local business and the public. 201 BEDFORD STREET • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS • 02420
