Committee Charge:
The Building Committee is advisory in nature and is appointed by the MSAD #51 School Board. The committee is made up of parents, community members, public officials, and school department staff. The Building Committee advises and supports the School Board on the design and construction of the school, oversees the project budget and schedule, and coordinates with town agencies.
The Building Committee can set up subcommittees and appoint members to these subcommittees from their appointed voting and non-voting members, as they see fit. The Building Committee is also responsible for outreach to MSAD #51 staff, families, and community members and informing the public about the projects's overall progress during each specific phase of building development.
The Building Committee serves for the duration of the project - from the Design Phase all the way through construction. Building Committee meetings are an opportunity for the Design Team to provide updates on recent progress, changes to the design, project timeline, project budget, and any other pertinent issues. In turn, the Building Committee provides the Design Team with feedback, guidance, and thoughtful decision-making to keep the project moving forward.
The Building Committee works with the architects during the design detail phase of the new primary school and related projects. The committee will be represented by a number of stakeholders, including school staff, administrators. Board members, parent/guardians, and community members. This committee will meet on Wednesday evenings 6:00-8:00 PM one to two times monthly in the Library at the Mabel I Wilson school. Meetings are expected to continue through May 2025.
