On exterior design, members noted the new 'bookend' scheme drops the lower-level color break and roofline variation. Hsing Ming Sha asked for the architect's rationale; Ksenia Slavsky objected to calling it the default option. Vote moved to June 22 hybrid meeting.

Longer-form draft.
At the June 15 School Building Committee meeting, members discussed bathroom design feedback from roughly 40 listening sessions, upcoming Early Release Package timing, and introductions of the new Turner Construction on-site team. These topics were not on the published agenda. On the high school exterior, several members raised specific concerns about the latest facade scheme, including loss of the differentiated base and step-down roofline. Hsing Ming Sha requested the design team's rationale before any decision. The committee scheduled a special hybrid meeting for June 22 to review physical samples and vote. Separately, the net 8-inch building height reduction was accepted as a TVD item carrying a $1.4 million cost impact, offset by prior savings. Alan Levine noted potential effects on future flexibility and maintenance over the building's lifespan. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/lexington/school-building-committee/2026-06-15/ #MeetingWatch #LexingtonMA
