COVER LETTER 1 1

Jonathan Luiz Town Administrator Weston Town Hall 56 Norfield Road Weston, CT 06883

RE: RFP for Facilities Optimization Committee Project

Dear Mr. Luiz, Thank you for considering Tecton Architects as your design partner for the study of Weston’s school and administrative facilities. We enjoyed the opportunity to meet with the Facilities Optimization Committee during the Fall to discuss your project, and look forward to the opportunity to support the Town in crafting a clear, meaningful plan that addresses the immediate needs of Weston’s Public Schools, with an eye on the long-term future of your community. Since 1979, we have been helping our clients use the built environment to bring their communities together. From offices in Hartford, CT and Westerly, RI, our staff of 50 supports public K-12, magnet, charter and independent school projects throughout the Northeast. Our current and recent work includes several similar “front-end” planning studies for communities in Brookfield, Simsbury, Suffield, Sherman and Ellington. Our goal in studies such as yours is not only to effectively document and analyze, but to provide a plan that can truly be executed and supported by the community. We know that students, parents and educators forge strong bonds and a feeling of identity with their community schools. Our team will actively participate in communicating the facts, current conditions and opportunities of the District’s schools through public forums and workshops. Through an “ask, listen, understand” approach, we offer a platform to express concerns and voice opinions, providing transparency to the process and enhancing parent and community understanding of any proposed projects. This approach has served us in similar studies, but with different outcomes, for both Brookfield and Simsbury, CT. In Brookfield, following an evaluation of the District’s existing facilities, the Town voted to consolidate the District’s 1,266 PK-5 students in a new $78 million elementary school. Together, Tecton and the administration partnered to provide frequent, consistent updates on the intent, benefits and cost of the plan, using open forums, community surveys and mailers to ensure buy-in at referendum. In Simsbury, our team reviewed more than a dozen scenarios to support an increase in enrollment, while making the best of use existing facilities. After an initial plan to close a neighborhood school was met with concern, the District has moved to an elementary renewal plan, refreshing but maintaining the same number of neighborhood schools. This experience reinforces our belief that a one-size fits all approach isn’t appropriate for every Town, and that the financial and community impacts must be weighed. Every project brings with it a blend of exciting possibilities, inevitable challenges, and necessary constraints. Our team will help you find the solution that gives your community, staff, and most importantly your students, the space to excel. Thank you for your consideration,

Jeffrey J. Wyszynski, AIA Principal, Chief Operating Officer [email protected] | o. 860.990.6950 | f. 860.990.6951

PROJECT APPROACH 4 1 PROJECT APPROACH

Tecton Architects is excited about the opportunity to work with the Town of Weston’s Facilities Optimization Committee to develop a plan that optimizes your school and administrative facilities and can truly be executed and supported by the community. We know this presents a tremendous opportunity to inspire learning, promote community, and elevate the daily experience for students, faculty, staff and Town employees. Through open and consistent communication and a balance of innovative and practical design solutions, we can work together to maximize the potential of your schools and administrative facilities.

FACILITY ANALYSIS AND BASELINE DATA VERIFICATION For over 42 years, Tecton has provided clients with accurate, thorough master plans and feasibility studies including documenting program requirements, assessment of existing facilities, exploring site alternatives, developing options for meeting needs, and preliminary project budget estimates. Our process begins by collecting any existing documentation that the Town of Weston has regarding the facilities, including previous studies, utility bills, drawings from the original construction and any subsequent renovations, followed by property walkthroughs of the buildings. Our findings will be catalogued, deficiencies identified, and recommendations highlighted into a final report. Our comprehensive assessment may include: • Schools: enrollment, grade structure, buses, start time, lunch waves • Buildings: accessibility, code compliance, egress, travel time, space usage • Facilities: roof, MEP systems, fire protection, utilities • Sites: access, security, bus/parent drop off, parking, accessible parking / routes, potential for expansion, life safety • Amenities: outdoor play areas, campus connections, walkability, community assets • Sustainability: building orientation, envelope analysis, energy rating / modeling, green systems • Wellness: daylight, indoor air quality, individual control, views to nature, FF&E, healthy materials, acoustics Proposed team: As part of our team, we propose the inclusion of Civil, MEP and Structural Engineers to lend their individual expertise during this component of your project.

TECTON ARCHITECTS PROJECT APPROACH

SAFELY MANAGING YOUR PROJECT The current healthcare crisis is pushing organizations, municipalities and individuals to find new ways of working and interacting. As we’ve adapted to changing safety protocols and legal requirements, our collaborative culture, team interaction and style of work remain unchanged. Early adoption of technology has long been at the forefront of Tecton’s strategic plan. This inherent familiarity has allowed our teams to make a seamless transition, using tools and processes with which they’re already familiar, and finding ways to recreate physical processes in a digital way. We continue to rely on proven tools for documentation, visualization and project management, while integrating new processes like digital daily check-in meetings and live, simultaneous mark-up sessions.

We use the following tools and techniques to maintain communications throughout the project: • Daily team meetings to discuss projects. • Active coordination with our consultant teams and clients. • Video conferencing, saving clients and the design team travel time. • Utilizing Revit and Microsoft Teams to coordinate our work in real-time and enable constant communication. When working remotely isn’t an option, we’ll work with the Town to understand your protocols, schedule facility tours during off-peak times and practice social distancing to keep your staff and community safe.

TECTON ARCHITECTS PROJECT APPROACH

FINDING THE RIGHT FIT - In our experience, the preliminary planning phases are the most formative with the potential to shape the best possible outcome for the entire project. Having designers on site with the client early on is a tremendous benefit. We will collect and vet all the data to marry the potential of existing facilities to the ideal needs of your community. This becomes the platform upon which all decisions are weighed, and your project is built.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM Tecton’s approach ensures stakeholder involvement in • Proposed Educational Specifications listing an the design before we put pen to paper.

TECTON ARCHITECTS PROJECT APPROACH

OUR PROGRAMMING PROCESS BEGINS WITH: • RESEARCH Collection and review existing floor plans, department locations and adjacencies, and fixed program elements with the owner.

• INTERVIEW Interview of your team and other interested stakeholders to understand the spatial requirements, adjacency preferences, and overall workflow.

• OBSERVATION Close interaction with your staff to understand how they work, review existing space standards (if applicable) and work together to define staff and departmental relationships for both today and in the future.

TECTON ARCHITECTS PROJECT APPROACH

COMMUNICATING WITH THE COMMUNITY - We understand that clear, open communications will help build consensus and community support for any future projects or building realignment. We will work closely with the Town Facilities Optimization Committe throughout the process to solicit feedback, engage stakeholders and convey information to maximize the potential for acceptance and approval. Often, our work goes beyond traditional public meetings, to assist in the development of surveys, websites and mailers to best reach constituents.

TECTON ARCHITECTS PROJECT APPROACH

BUILDING CONSENSUS - Tecton has worked with school districts throughout Connecticut to craft future plans for their educational programs and building stock. With conditions assessments and enrollment projections in hand, we can begin developing options for the Town, including changes in grade configuration and organization, alternative plans for facility utilization and the impact that changes may have on academic achievement, budget, infrastructure, facilities, transportation, students and their families.

TECTON ARCHITECTS | PROJECT EXPERIENCE OSCG&R EXPERIENCE

Our design team has focused on PreK-12 school facilities in Connecticut for more than 40 years and has worked successfully with the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services and Office of School Construction Grants & Review on many occasions.

Our approach to working with OSCG&R is rooted in forethought, transparency and consistency. Both time and attention are limited during review meetings, making clarity and simplification of communication to only the key elements paramount. This approach has served us throughout our history with the State, and we are well-versed in all regulations, with an understanding of submission requirements and excellent working relationships with each of the plan reviewers. We are also members of the Industry Advisory Council, providing a direct conduit to leadership to discuss current and proposed grant application regulations.
