True Story Theater: Community Dialogue
2018-11-07 19:00 - 20:30 | Thompson School, 187 Everett Street, Arlington, MA, 02474, United States
The AHS Building Project and True Story Theater present:
Perspectives and Perceptions on Building a New High School
A community dialogue on what a new high school means to you
Through True Story’s interactive story-telling theatre, community members are offered a space to have their experiences heard and reflected back with creativity and respect. Audience members are invited to share their thoughts and feelings, and actors honor what was shared, through drama, movement, and music. From this simple interaction, people can gain fresh perspectives and insights. It’s fine to just come and witness.
This is a free public event of The Listening Project: ‘Strengthening civic dialogue through storytelling theatre’ which is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Community Forum - CANCELED
2018-10-24 19:00 - 21:00 | Thompson School, 187 Everett Street, Arlington, MA, 02474, United States
The Arlington High School Building Committee has elected to cancel the October 24th Community Forum to allow better integration of Committee and community feedback into the draft exterior design options before soliciting additional input. Initial draft concepts were presented at the Oct. 16th Committee meeting and HMFH Architects will present refinements at the November Committee meetings.
It is important to the Committee to gather and incorporate community feedback and to not rush the design decisions for this significant project. Updated designs will be presented at the November 27th Community Forum, 7-9pm at Town Hall.
The Committee is committed to an open and transparent design process. Committee meetings are open to the public and have been well attended. At every meeting, time is given for public comment both at the beginning and toward the end of the meeting. View the calendar of upcoming meetings.

As the design of the new school takes shape, this series of public forums (Sept. 24, Oct. 24, Nov. 27) will keep the public informed, and give residents the chance to ask questions and provide feedback.
The AHS Building Committee, Skanska USA and HMFH Architects will present:

decisions made to-date and cost factors of the project
site definition – sketches of the front green, new green spaces on the campus, overall site layout and more

Later forums will focus on the look and feel of the exterior façade as well as interior layout and spaces.

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.
