North Attleborough Public Schools to show first 3D building renderings at Feb. 13 community forum; construction manager to be introduced
Summary
District officials announced a community forum at 6 p.m. Feb. 13 in the high school auditorium to present early three-dimensional design renderings, introduce the construction manager for the multi-year school project and offer post-forum building tours.
North Attleborough Public Schools announced a community forum scheduled for 6 p.m. on Feb. 13 in the high school auditorium where the district will present early three-dimensional design renderings of the planned school and introduce the project's construction manager. "For the first time, we'll be able to show kind of early stage, design rendering so that the building's gone from 2 dimensional to three-dimensional," the School official said.
The forum will also introduce the construction manager, whose selection has been handled by a construction manager search committee that has been evaluating proposals and interviewing candidates, the School official said. The official described the construction manager as "the third very important partner in this project" alongside the district's project manager, Vertex, and the designer, Jordan Whittier. The official said the construction manager will work with the district over about five years to build and turn over the building.
District staff said the construction manager selection process was still ongoing at the time of the announcement and expected to be finalized in the days immediately following the meeting. After the forum, attendees will be offered tours of the existing building so the public can see current deficiencies the proposed project aims to address; the School official said students will be involved in the tours. The official also acknowledged a reminder about the tours would be sent to the community.
No formal votes or funding decisions were recorded in the remarks captured in the transcript segment. Details not specified in the transcript include the identity of the construction manager to be named, the exact project budget, and the full funding plan for the project. The School official said community funding is being sought but did not itemize other funding sources.
The district framed the Feb. 13 forum as an opportunity for the public to see early design work and to meet key project partners. The School official said, "It's gonna be the best community forum yet," and asked the public to "stay tuned for more on that."
