Wayland Town Crier 11/22/10: Update from Wayland High School Building Committee. The High School Building Committee (HSBC) is scheduled to meet on Thursday, Dec. 9 at 7 p.m. in the Commons conference room at Wayland High School. The following is an overview provided by Chris Semlies of Shawmut Design and Construction regarding construction activities for the coming week: The site will be closed on Thanksgiving Day but we are working on Friday, Nov. 26 and likely on Saturday, Nov. 27. Next week’s work will be similar to the current week, with metal wall framing at Building B and steel erection at Building A. Steel erection at Building B is complete and Building A is progressing rapidly. Those very high steel trusses that you see will support the roof over the new stage! You can also see the sloped steel that will support the audience of the auditorium. The work day for steel erection will extend until 4:30 p.m. typically. Steel deliveries will continue to arrive daily via one to two flat-bed trailers, typically between 8 and 9 a.m. Underground site utility work will continue daily within the construction site. This will involve periodic vibration due to soil compaction equipment. Soils continue to be trucked to and from the gravel pit adjacent to the lacrosse field intermittently, so please be aware of truck traffic in that area. Everyone should keep in mind the gravel pit area is off limits to non-construction personnel. We have posted signage to that effect. Trucking is prohibited after 2:30pm so that students can get to the field. Activities continue related to the construction of the façade mockup near the south wall of the Administration Building. We apologize for any inconvenience resulting from these activities. For more information visit the HSBC’s website.

Traffic and parking were the overarching issues of the evening. The atmosphere of the forum was "everything you’ve always wanted to know about the new High School but were afraid to ask" and representatives from all involved parties did their best to answer.
