CURRENT ACTIVITIES
In the month of June, BBT architects continued to work with the Core team to narrow down the concepts from the design charette with additional details and building placement, after which the core team chose the concept that they felt fit the site and future uses of the addition. BBT then met with specific user groups to start detailing the spaces each group – teachers, administration, custodial – would want to see in the addition. Meanwhile, Geotech has been scheduled to be on site in July to perform test of the site’s soil conditions.

ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED FOR NEXT PERIOD
Next month, BBT will continue with Schematic Design (SD) by further editing and detailing the design, finishing with SD by the end of the month. With SD being completed, the project plans and narrative will then be sent to a cost estimator so the project team can compare the estimate to the budget and original scope of the project, ensuring those two items are staying aligned.

In the month of June, BBT architects continued to work with the Core team to narrow down the layout of the office area with additional details and room placement, after which the core team chose the concept that they felt fit the uses of the office remodel.

BBT then met with specific user groups to start detailing the spaces each group – health, administration, staff, custodial – would want to see in the remodel. Meanwhile, BBT met with technology to discuss the layout of the computer lab and additional makers spaces.

HIGHLIGHTS, CHALLENGES, SOLUTIONS
Highlights: Teamwork. It’s disappointing to work on a major renovation then have to scale back how much renovation can take place now, pushing the rest to the future. The team at Obsidian has understood and accepted that fact from the beginning and has been focused and engaged on what we can do for them with this bond cycle.

Challenges and Solutions: The domino effect. As this project is a phase of a bigger plan to renovate Obsidian, it is a challenge to make sure this portion of the overall plan can be realized without the need to touch additional spaces and possibly going over budget. The solution is to focus the design on this one space making sure that it works now and for the future renovation.
