Public Service Building - Cafeteria <br />1. Visitor Center Update — Don Mills (Mills Whitaker Architects) & Dawn McKenna (Lexington Tourism <br />Committee) <br />Don provided an update on three meetings that were held with the Visitor Center Stakeholders <br />related to design and its relationship to the existing site. Stakeholders have agreed to build a new <br />Visitor Center at the present location. <br />1. Review of conceptual drawings submitted November 2015 and were reviewed January of <br />2016. <br />2. Developed for review two different options, showing modifications. Bathrooms were <br />relocated downstairs reducing the overall footprint. <br />3. Tonight's presentation showed the combined modifications for discussion. <br />Don presented slides at PBC showing original building and pointed out the insufficiencies with the <br />current Visitor Center. The current building cannot handle the capacity of people that come in via <br />bus load or school groups. <br />Information for tourism and the retail needs related to customer service is greatly affected <br />due to lack of space and access to information and customer service. <br />• The Liberty Ride is also located in this building in a small area. <br />Historical displays and information are not easily accessible when large groups are in the <br />Visitor Center. Plaques are poorly represented in the area due to space restriction. <br />Original drawings did not include a basement. The stakeholder meetings to date elected to do a full <br />basement, and move the bathrooms to the basement. Through discussion at this meeting It was <br />agreed that further discussion is needed related to design, bathroom locations, building materials, <br />and parameters for putting the estimate together. <br />201 BEDFORD STREET • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420 <br />
