Abingtons extensive efforts to address the future school building needs of Abington continues to progress each month.
The school building committee is coordinating its efforts with the states school building authority to ensure that Abington, like other surrounding towns, will reap the benefits of the states agreement to pay for more than 50 percent of Abingtons eventual school construction project.
The towns school building committee is pleased to announce that it has retained the services of Ai3 Architects LLC of Wayland, as the architect for the MSBA-required school feasibility study.
After reviewing all of the resumes and applications submitted by architectural design firms, MSBAs 15-member designer selection panel, along with three Abington School Building Committee representatives, interviewed three finalist firms in Boston on Jan. 22, 2013.
In compliance with MSBA guidelines, the town approved the selection of the Ai3 company to conduct a school feasibility study.
After executing the required contract, Ai3 began its initial investigations and inspections of Abington schools in February 2013.
Ai3 is the only firm in this region that focuses the entire practice on PK-12 educational design, as the firm has previously completed school projects for the nearby communities of Whitman, Hanson and Brockton.
Ai3 has extensive experience in completing comprehensive feasibility studies for middle schools and high schools that identify community concerns, including but not limited to possible grade re-configurations, new busing routes, potential new sites, re-use or expansion of existing school sites, comparison of new construction versus addition/renovation options, investment in technology, energy-efficient and Green buildings, project cost estimates and taxpayer impacts.
At the conclusion of the feasibility study, Ai3 and the Abington school building committee will present the town residents with preliminary building designs, suggested grade level configurations, and proposed site layouts for review and comment by the town and the MSBA.
The cost of the feasibility study was approved by Abington voters in April 2012, which qualified and entitled the town to receive MSBA funding to pay for approximately 54 percent of the studys cost.

Platinum Roofing Receives Special Recognition from Leading Roofing Manufacturer
Get roofs prepared for the summer heat with a new Gaco Coating from Legends Roofing.
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) April 23, 2013
Gaco roof coatings are an elastomeric silicone rubber coating that is applied to roof substrates. Its a coating that will protect roofs against leaks and severe weather. Gaco is a bright, white reflective color which will keep a building cooler in the summer and will result in lower energy bills.
As an Energy Star-qualified roof product, Gaco can lower roof surface temperature by up to 100F, which helps reduce the amount of air conditioning needed in buildings, and can reduce peak cooling demand by 10-15 percent.
The product outperforms and outlasts acrylic, urethane, asphalt or Hypalon coatings. It has a 50-year limited warranty and has been in business since 1955. It can withstand permanent ponding water, which is when water is diverted into a lower area that has no outlet, causing that water to pool.
The Legends Roofing team will provide reliable and high-quality workmanship, tailored to their customers individual needs. Building representatives and/or Homeowners interested in the new Gaco coatings options can contact Legends Roofing at (972)210-2351 for a free estimate.

AMBROSE CLANCY PHOTO | About 25 workers were scrambling atop the Center Firehouse this morning to fix a leaky roof.
About 25 workers from the R.W. Mulligan Company of Riverhead began work on the Center Firehouse roof this morning.
The roof had developed leaks that could be seen on the ceiling in the main meeting room on the buildings second floor.
Commissioners chose Mulligan from among five companies that had priced the project for Commissioner Keith Clark. Because the roof replacement was deemed an emergency repair, commissioners didnt have to put the project out to bid. But they requested that Mr. Clark get a sense of what the job would cost by speaking with various roofers.
Mulligan came in at a low price of $29,400. Others who priced the project were Cotrone at $32,200; Eli Construction at $35,625; Hunter at $46,500; and AAC Inc. at $51,500.
Mr. Clark described Mulligan as a very reputable company with huge crews able to tackle the project rapidly.
