The Standing School Building Committee
Lexington, Mass.
For The Annual Town Meeting
March 19, 1962
TO THE CITIZENS OF LEXINGTON
Shortly after the referendum on the High School project in July,
1961, a meeting was held to review the situation. In attendance were
representatives of the major town boards and committees plus interested
citizens representing both sides of the issue. At that time the Standing
School Building Committee offered to step aside if it was felt that the
best interests of the town could be served by assigning the project to a
different group. The decision of the meeting was unanimous that the
Building Committee should continue and that funds should be provided
immediately to minimize the loss of time.
The sum of $6,000 was transferred by the Appropriations Committee
from the Reserve Fund in August and in November, at a Special Town
Meeting, an additional $30,000 was appropriated, bringing the total for
this project to $63,000
Despite the fact that the program of the past six months has involved
abandoning part of the previous work and carrying out duplicate plans
to completion, the major part of the funds appropriated to date will
ultimately be credited to the cost of the completed project.
To interpret the referendum specifically is impossible. A wide range
of reasons were given, many of which were in direct opposition to others.
The Building Committee has considered that its obligations should include
1 Consideration of all suggestions and proposals.
2. Basing all decisions on minimum practical cost consistent with
effective operation of the educational program as reanalyzed by the
School Committee and with realistic operating costs in future years.
3 Providing full information to the town concerning the recom-
mended solution.
In doing its best to meet these obligations, the Building Committee
has thoroughly reviewed all past work and made a number of revisions
in which comfort, convenience and appearance have been sacrificed some-
what in the interest of lower cost. Because there was so much discussion.
of multiple buildings, the Committee agreed at the meeting mentioned
above to develop fully two alternate plans in order to compare a single
building (Scheme A) with a compact plan of three buildings (Scheme B)
for the same academic program. This compares with six buildings in
the June proposal.
It is clear that the details of a project as complex as the expansion of
a high school to more than double its present size cannot be worked out
by the Town Meeting or by the town as a whole. This must be delegated
with broad directives to a qualified committee working with professional
architects and educators. The present Building Committee of seven
citizens has had five years of experience with the last three school projects.
Obviously it is impossible to satisfy every citizen in every respect.
In any recommended design nearly everyone will find some feature which
is objectionable to him. Thus, it becomes essential that each citizen
consider the project as a whole. The need for school facilities is beyond
dispute. Further delay can only operate to the detriment of our school
system and to the financial disadvantage of Lexington.
It is our duty to make a, specific recommendation to the Town of the
plan which we believe, after six months of concentrated effort, offers the
best overall solution to the school facilities problem.

WILL RECOMMEND to the 1962 Annual Town Meet-

plans and specifications and to obtain bids for the
expansion of the Lexington High School from 1200
pupils to 2700 pupils in accordance with Scheme B
presented in this brochure.

Scheme A vs. Scheme B
The plan proposed in June, 1961 with an estimated cost of $4,351,000 consisted of four academic buildings
the physical education facility, a boiler house, and a central building for library, offices and lecture hall. Con-
siderable objection was raised to the number and layout of these buildings as well as the total cost. In the
reanalysis of the project, it was decided not to use this plan but to use the basic education and space require-
ment data to study two designs more compact in nature. One of these (Scheme A) consists essentially of a
single academic space connected directly to the present structure. Scheme B has three large academic build-
ings. In both schemes, the library, offices, lecture hall and boiler room are included in the major buildings.
A careful- review was made of the alternatives for every item involved in the design. In order to make a clear
and fair comparison, the same instructional space, structural system and materials were used in both schemes.
The site plans and floor plans for both schemes are presented on pages 8 through 13.
The basic difference between Scheme A and Scheme B lies in the amount of circulation space (corridors,
entrances, lobbies, ect.) In Scheme B each of the six new classroom units is separate with only interconnect-
ing doors between adjacent classrooms on the second floor for safety purposes. The small amount of travel
between classroom units and the central facilities will be by covered walkway In Scheme A all units are
connected by a continuous corridor on the second floor which ties in to the second floor of the existing building
There is also an enclosed connection at the first floor level with the new Central Building
The accompanying table shows the comparison of floor area and cost of Schemes A & B and also of the
plan submitted last June. In spite of generally rising costs, higher foundation costs than anticipated and
the distribution of essentially the same mechanical costs over a smaller total area, substantial reductions
from June have been achieved. This has been done through more efficient though less convenient utilization
of space and through some reductions in cost of materials, but without harmful effect on the educational
program or serious increase in long term operating costs. As stated above, the difference between Scheme
A_& B lies in the area devoted to corridors, lobbies and connecting structures.
The cost comparison for Schemes A and B were supplied by an independent professional estimator, who
made these estimates from detailed quantitative examination of the plans.

WE RECOMMEND SCHEME B because
1. It is better suited to the educational program.
2. It makes better use of the site.
3. It is over $200,000 less expensive than Scheme A.
4. It is over $300,00 less expensive than last June's estimates.
Time Schedules• With approval at the March, 1962 Town Meeting of the request for funds to complete
designs and specifications, final bids for the new construction can be opened in October or November a this
year Completion of the new buildings ready for occupancy is then possible prior to September, 1964.
With the serious overcrowded condition of the existing building in the 1963-64 school year no remodel-
ing can be done while the building is in use. A part of the kitchen expansion will be let out to bid in the spring
of 1963 for completion in the summer of that year The balance of the necessary remodeling will be let out
to bid in the spring of 1964 to start during the summer and continue during the school year after the new
facilities are occupied. To minimize disruption of the educational program, relatively large blocks of space will
need to be set aside for this work.
In the following year, 1965-66, the available space will be used for a carefully planned relocation of a
group of 8th grade pupils. It will then be possible to assign some 6th grade pupils to the Junior High Schools
to relieve pressures at the lower levels, where a new elementary school has been postponed until 1966.
THE SCHEDULE OF APPROPRIATIONS for the
High School expansion beyond the $63,000 already
expended will be as follows:
March, 1962 $ 115,000
Fall, 1962 3,600,000
Spring 1963 and 1964 270,000
$3,985,000
Approximately $1,750,000 in State Aid will be
returned to the town over a period of 20 years.
1 The annual payment by the Town for this project
will not exceed, in the highest year, $2.50 on the tax
rate. Each year thereafter, the effect will decrease as
can be determined from the table set forth on page 15.
