The AHS Building Committee invites the community to learn more and ask questions prior to the next stage of decisions.
This forum will feature:

an update on schematic designs
a discussion about estimated costs

Tours of the High School will be given on January 9th.
During the Schematic Design phase, HMFH Architects will take the preliminary massing diagrams and create a refined design that will establish the look and feel of the building and site. The end result will be a building and site design with enough detail to establish scope, budget and schedule for the new Arlington High School. The AHS Building Committee will be evaluating all possibilities, aiming to maintain educational and community priorities while minimizing cost.

Get an inside look at AHS today and learn about plans for the new high school. Tours will start at 7pm and run for 30-45 minutes.
Note: handicap access within the building is limited and the tour will involve a lot of walking and stairs. If desired, an alternate tour will be provided for those with limited mobility.

Please note DATE CHANGE: Out of respect for Selectman Greeley’s family, and because of his wake, the Forum has been postponed to WEDNESDAY 11/28.
At this forum, HMFH Architects, Skanska USA and the Building Committee will present:

Project update, including front green design and sustainability planning
Exterior design concepts
Site flow and traffic
Concepts for re-using/re-creating historic elements

At the forum, and through an online survey that will be available soon, feedback will be gathered about exterior design concepts, site layout and use of historic elements. The Building Committee will consider this feedback when they make significant decisions about these elements at their meeting on Dec. 4.

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.
