Project Impact
The NEW Reading Center for Active Living is more than just a construction Project. It is a
commitment to our town to offer programs and services that are very much valued and needed.
We have over 9,000 individuals/families participating in community programs/events and utilizing
vital social services and resources offered within the Community Services Department
Other Centers have seen a 70%-110% increase in participation when opening their new facilities.
This translates into 58% - 72% of the total population of Reading who will use this building or access
resources.
With the rising demand for services evidenced as well as a rapidly growing 60+ community, this
project ensures that all members in the Town of Reading have access to the resources, facilities and
community connection they need to thrive.
By placing Elder & Human Services, Recreation and Veterans at the heart of a modern, accessible
and inclusive community hub, we create a space that not only meets immediate needs but also
fosters long-term growth, collaboration and integration. This project is a crucial investment for a
successful and happy shared future.

OLD BUSINESS
BH presented an update on the project schedule noting the
significant accomplishments over the past few months and the
benefits achieved by meeting the April Town Meeting date.
Over the past holiday month the team has held over a dozen
meetings to further the project on the desired timeline. In
response to recent developments, modifications were made to
the project schedule, aligning the ReCAL activities with recent
design process changes, town approvals and the timing of the
Killam project. BH reviewed each stage of the project over the
next few months including the key Town approval dates.
The proposed schedule changes were coordinated with PBC
member schedules. A meeting is scheduled for 01/15 to finalize
dates with the Killam team and the Town, upon which
adjustments to the Master Schedule will be made and
summary dates distributed to PBC members. PT commended
the work of the working groups and consulting firms.
01/21/25: BH presented the updated project schedule.
Calendar invites were sent out for all upcoming PBC meetings.
A pdf version of the schedule revision workbook will be sent tc
all PBC members.
KG presented an update on the accomplishments of th
communications working group which included updates to th

emails from the website and is managed by town staff, and all
ongoing outreach through newsletters and social media. A 2nd
public forum is scheduled for 01/28 at the Pleasant Street Center
and will cover facility usage, building design and comparable cost
data. A new video is also being created with additional project
updates and a suggestion box is being installed for those who
don't use email. JW noted that a lunch and learn is also being
planned for the ReCAL project for the general public.
01/21/25: JD presented an update on the activities of the
communications working group. Two suggestion boxes were
purchased and will be located at town hall and the pleasant street
center. The website was updated with the latest renderings.
Social media posts were made for the upcoming public forum. A
lunch and learn was also scheduled for 01/30 to enable people to
get the same information during the day. The public forum
agenda was reviewed. The group sent materials for the 2n1 video
creation and is waiting on the script to review.
NT communicated her excitement about the development of the
design and noted that in the last working group meeting they
reviewed the reasons for the slight increase in building area, but
that the group would hold off on addressing this more until the
cost estimates are ready. JB described the design of the
foundation. Jon Buhl from Foley Buhl Roberts structural engineers
explained the rationale behind the foundation design. JC asked if
perhaps more cost-effective methods were possible. JC and JB
said they have been and will continue to review alternate design
approaches and are having the geotechnical report peer
reviewed. JC questioned the use of 2x6 studs. JB said these were
for the exterior walls and were needed to fit the piping. DC added
that they were also needed for insulation thickness. JC asked if
the amount of cement could be reduced and if different types of
steel or different framing materials could be used. The group
agreed that these explorations were somewhat early for the
current stage of the design, but that they will be considered as
the design advances. JB reviewed the SD set noting that there
was more detail shown then typically found at this stage and
pointed out the recent change to move the billiards room to the
211d floor. JB confirmed that this has been done in other facilities
without sound or vibration issues. The purpose for the level of
detail was to help ensure that all costs are accounted for in the
upcoming estimate. The location of the building was discussed
relative to solar gain, as was required parking. JC asked about
whether plans for the Burbank Ice Rink had been located. JW
noted that the Town departments had looked but were unable to
produce them. JWW said the Town had recently met with the rink
operators and would circle back with them to see if any
documents were available.
01/21/25: BH noted the satisfaction of the design working
group at the last PBC meeting relative to the current stage and
JWW

questioned whether any additional items had surfaced since the
latest drawings were made available last week. NT noted that the
COA had additional feedback items. These will be presented
through the design review. No increase in building size will be
considered until current cost estimates have been reviewed. NZ
noted that the COA met with recreation and elder & human
services which resulted in an understanding that a senior hub
would be an integral part of the new facility. Some minor
architectural modifications would likely be needed though this is
unlikely to have any major impact on the project costs.

06-05 SUSTAINABILITY UPDATE
BH summarized the activities of the sustainability working
group from last week, noting that key for this stage was to
identify all high-cost impacts so that the necessary allowances
can be built into the project budget. AG noted that multiple
options are being priced for key sustainability items which will
allow the PBC to recommend the proper decisions that align
with the budget. Further review will be conducted during the
next design stage which will include an energy model. The
building is being designed as an all electric facility.
06-06 DESIGN REVIEW
iBH provided an overview of the design review process with
explanations on how to document feedback through the
Bluebeam software as well as through Excel. An explanation
was provided of the documents to be reviewed and the type of
feedback that is desired at this stage. MN questioned what the
estimators would base their cost on if specific manufactures
had not yet been identified. BH noted that this level of cost
difference is covered with the design contingency as not all
decisions will have been made at this design stage. Both cost
estimates (TTH & BH+A) will be reconciled. JH noted that the
Town Engineer had not received the invitation email. BH noted
that the town was compiling a list of all town department

FUNCTION & OPERATION OF RECAL
Closed
JWW provided an overview of the community services division
programs provided for citizens. She highlighted the 2023 U.S.
Surgeon General's Advisory on the epidemic of loneliness and
isolation in the US, noting how it negatively impacts the health,
safety, resilience, prosperity, academic achievements and
work performance of individuals and communities. The study
identified lack of social connection as a greater indicator of
death than many known significant health issues, and
recommended building environments that promote social
connection. CK discussed the programs, needs and goals of the
Elder & Human Services division, as did Jim Sullivan (ToR-
Recreation Administrator) for the Recreation division and Will
Valliere (ToR-Veterans Services Officer) for the Veterans

07-06 IPROJECT COSTS
07-09
BH presented an overview of how construction and project'
costs are established, pointing out the many factors that make
up the total project cost. He also provided a comparison of
similar projects and their associated costs which could be used
to establish a cost per square foot benchmark. By applying this
benchmark to the current size of the proposed facility, a range
of probable costs could be established. BH pointed out that the
team did not yet have a full handle on estimated costs of the
design as the cost estimators were only now doing their
calculations. Detailed estimated costs are expected in early
February. BH also reviewed historical cost inflation changes
and noted the significant upsurge since COVID as well as the
cost factors that come from both global and regional changes.
BH reviewed how the community can participate in the ongoin
development of the new ReCAL facility, highlighting the proje(
website available at www.readingma.gov/recal and the varioL
other methods available to the community including tw
suggestion boxes.
A community member noted her support for a senior center
but concern over a combined center for the town and its larger
size and cost. NZ, chair of the COA noted that the COA has
been involved in the development of the project for years and
have been prioritizing the needs of the seniors. She identified
that seniors are supportive of the combined project that
features dedicated space for Reading's seniors. MD noted that
the 60+ age group is growing significantly in Reading and other
areas and that the programs designed for the proposed ReCAL
facility are meant to meat the current and growing needs of
this demographic. CK noted that the interactions with seniors
has doubled in the past few years and that much more space
is needed to address the demand. A citizen asked if grant
programs were available for this project. JW noted that no
grants we presently available for this type of facility. Another
attendee asked if the cost per household was available. JW
mentioned that this data was not ready yet, but that the details
