Westford's Robinson School Building Committee reviewed revised site plans for seven building options and warned against reading too much into early cost figures. The panel voted 10-0 to approve its September 8 minutes. Member Megan pressed the design team on why priority-repair estimates for the district's three elementary schools have climbed to between $22 million and $29 million each, up from $8 million to $10 million cited roughly three years ago.
Architect Lee put a full Robinson renovation at $67.1 million and floated, then disowned, a hypothetical 38 percent state reimbursement figure: "So please don't repeat that number ever again to me or my children." The committee reviewed Robinson, Abbott and a new-construction "Farmer Way" site option, and expects to vote on an HVAC recommendation October 13.
