Report of Building Committee
REPORT OF THE BUILDING COMMITTEE IN CHARGE OF THE ERECTION AND CON- STRUCTION OF A NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
The Committee wishes to congratulate the Town 'on voting, after many years of recommendations made by different School Committees, to appropriate a sufficient sum to secure for the use of its pupils a new High School which in its arrangement and appointments will compare most favorably, if not surpass, any High School in the State for the accommodation of a similar number of pupils.
The School Board, the faculty and the pupils are equally pleased with its arrangements and it is a further matter of congratulation that the teaching force expect to be able, under the improved conditions and with less effort, to gradu- ate pupils to take their place in the community as young men and women of intelligence and force, worthy of themselves and their teachers.
After its appointment, the Committee gave the matter of a new building very serious consideration, some of its mem- bers visiting late buildings in other towns and comparing their accommodations with those proposed for this Town. Consultation was held with the school authorities and with the teaching staff to insure the inclusion, in its final plan, of all conditions imposed by locality and practice.
At the outset it was decided that the advice of a profes- sional man familiar with school needs would materially help in the solution of the problem before the Committee. It, therefore, engaged as architect, Edward I. Wilson, who, besides being fitted by training and the experience gained in the erection of some thirty-five schools, was also a townsman. Mr. Wilson met with the Committee and gave liberally of his time and efforts in helping to reach a final decision as to the requirements. No less than eight tentative plans were
167
Report of Building Committee
outlined before the final plan was accepted, resulting in a building with which in its completed and visible form every citizen is familiar.
The Committee has carried the building to its completion and has practically kept within the appropriation as made by the Town, the overlay being only a matter of some thirty- nine dollars. This was accomplished, in spite of the continual advance of prices in materials and labor, by the observance of rigid adherence to economy and the complete initial study made of the entire proposition.
A short description of the building is incorporated in this report which will indicate the accommodations provided and explain the provisions made for future enlargement. The design adopted is simple and dignified and of the Georgian period, fitting in well with the history and traditions of the Old Colony. The exterior is of rough textured brick of different tones, harmonizing one with the other and giving a pleasing texture to the walls, trimmed with gray terra cotta and its surface broken by large windows and simple but effective entrances.
The exterior walls are of a hollow brick construction known as the "Fiske-locke" brick, which is so laid that an air space is secured in the center of the wall and the joints broken, making it practically impossible for moisture to come through the walls.
The basement walls are constructed of Portland cement concrete and a complete system of drainage about the walls is laid to take care of the natural tendency of the ground- water to seep in and cause a damp basement. The roof water is taken care of by an internal conductor and by the adoption of this method all troubles from frozen and leaky spouts are obviąted.
The sanitary arrangements are of the individual and most modern type and all are properly ventilated. A complete and ample sewerage system has been installed to take care of the needs of the building.
The interior is excellently lighted and from the windows wide views may be obtained over the surrounding towns and Massachusetts Bay.
168
Report of Building Committee
The building contains class rooms of varying size for the freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors; an assembly hall with stage seating one hundred and fifty; a teachers' room; a room for the principal, superintendent and school committee; each with connecting toilets; a physics and chemistry laboratory; a room for the teaching of the business course, with adjoining room for stenography and type- writing. A large space for storage of supplies is also provided.
In the basement are the boys' and girls' locker rooms with toilets adjacent; also a room at present unassigned, but capable of being used for various purposes, space for bicycle storage and the heater and fuel rooms.
The building is practically proof against any fire which might originate in the boiler room, as this part of the building is isolated and to gain access to it, one must leave the build- ing and enter the heating room from its own outside entrance. All the partition walls in the basement are of gray brick, and the ceilings are fireproofed with metal lath and hard plaster.
The building is planned so that at any future period addi- tions may be made at either end to give additional accom- modations, unit by unit, as required, and with practically no added expense for alterations of the present building; the arrangement of the corridors and placing of the stair- ways and the lighting of all rooms having been made in view of future additions.
The building is heated by a gravity return system, sup- plemented by direct radiation in the rooms. The ventilation and circulation of air are from three fresh-air rooms, where the air is warmed and delivered to each room at the rate of thirty cubic feet per minute for each occupant. In each class room and elsewhere about the building direct radiation is provided, as an auxiliary needed only in the coldest weather.
When the site for the new building was first considered by the Town, it was voted to place the building on the then Town property at the Center. At a special Town Meeting, held later, it was voted to purchase the Thorndyke property consisting of nine acres, which adjoined the Town land.
169
Report of Building Committee
This gives ample room for any buildings which might be required in the future, as well as an athletic field and baseball diamond. In view of this, the Town appointed a commis- sion to consider the development of the entire tract, and that body wisely decided to secure the advice of Francis Asbury Robinson of Boston, an expert in city planning, and as a result of Mr. Robinson's study and on his recommenda- tion, the Building Committee voted to locate the building on its present site.
In closing, the Committee may say that it feels proud to have been associated with a development so important to the future of the Town.
