3) High School Projects, Shorewood, Shorecrest - Neighborhood Input Meeting

Marcia Harris, Deputy Superintendent; Brian Schultz, Executive Director of Schools; and Calvin Gasaway, Shorecrest Project Manager, reviewed the six project phases--pre-design, design, bid and award, construction, occupancy, and closeout. The design phase is comprised of schematic design, design development, and construction documents and includes the following steps:

Schematic Design

• Relationship of rooms to each other (District is at this stage with both high schools)
• Massing, structure and openings
• Identify possible building systems

Design Development

• Internal workings of rooms
• Materials, finishes, fixtures and equipment
• Confirm building systems

Construction Documents

• Details of rooms 
• Specialties and treatments

It is anticipated that the schematic design portion will be completed at the end of this school year and the remainder of the design phase will be done early in the second half of 2011. Brian Schultz will be the primary person working with the project managers, architects, and the two principals.

One of the City of Shoreline requirements for these two projects is that there be a neighborhood meeting for the neighbors that live within 500 feet of each site. Two meetings were scheduled for March 24 one for the Shorecrest neighborhood at 6 pm and one for the Shorewood neighborhood at 7:30 pm. Invitations were mailed to those neighbors mentioned above as well as to the neighborhood associations. The agendas for each meeting were reviewed with the Board.
