June 4 Design Feedback Forum

May 14, 2018

7-9pm, Arlington Town Hall

Get up to speed with the AHS Building Project! Let the Building Committee know what you think!  

The Building Committee will be submitting the Preferred Schematic Design Option for the new/rebuilt high school in July and is seeking community input.

At this forum:

  • HMFH Architects will present more details about the four design options
  • MSBA process and decisions to-date will be reviewed
  • The Building Committee will outline criteria for choosing the preferred design
  • Feedback will be gathered for future Building Committee decisions

You’ll learn more about space requirements, desired adjacencies, conceptual floor and site plans, general architectural feel and street level perspectives. Potential construction timelines and very preliminary cost estimates will also be discussed. You will also have a chance to voice your opinion about the designs and related items.

In late June, the Building Committee will use outlined criteria and information gathered at this forum to select one of the four designs as Arlington’s Preferred Schematic Design Option for the July submission to the MSBA.

Can’t attend? A forum recap and feedback form will be available by June 7th at www.ahsbuilding.org. Additional project information is also available online.

The Town of Arlington has been invited into the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) process for the renovation/construction of Arlington High School.  Acceptance to the MSBA program does not guarantee state funding. The MSBA approval process must be completed successfully for the state, via the MSBA, to provide significant financial assistance to the project.  Local funding must also be assured through passage of a debt exclusion.
