Longer-form draft.
On June 25 the Lexington School Building Committee received updates on the new school project. Construction mobilization is set for July 6 with site fencing and two small enabling projects. The team reported that target value design has secured $2.2 million in savings without changing scope, and the DD estimate remains aligned with the prior budget. The next formal estimate is scheduled for September 21. Design refinements presented include lighter masonry on stairwells, syncopated windows, and a specific material palette. The committee also confirmed that all components must meet the red list standard for material health hazards and that a sound consultant has been retained to manage noise from pile driving and geothermal work. Article 97 approval was secured on June 10; foundation permitting can move ahead while other reviews continue. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/lexington/school-building-committee/2026-06-25/ #MeetingWatch #LexingtonMA
