Present – Niki and Dave, Melanie, Emma, Olivia, Paul, Helen, Imran, Sarah and JamesApologies – Chris and Steve
Agenda – Interim review and discussing the final outcome We discussed the major findings of this mornings meeting with Mark.
Reception design – We discussed the options we had to approach Kier. As the reception is due to be built before Christmas this gives us little chance to dramatically change the design but we may be able to have an input the surface finishes and lighting. This also may give us the opportunity to challenge the necessity of the glazed screen and add in some other factors which may improve the atmosphere of the main entrance. We will price up the additional factors to the reception to ensure it is realistic.
The final documents we produce will hopefully enable Number 92 to continue the project when we have left and the funding comes through. This can even be explored further in a future live project. It can be used as a main reference point and explored further through events with the young people to give them a sense of ownership over the building.
Niki and Dave were very appreciative of the work we have produced so far and the way we have listened and readjusted the scheme when meeting with the different users.
Next meeting: Final meeting with MB, NL, DC, LP, RL and student team -Wednesday 7th November, 10.30 – 11.30am (No.92)
URGENT-
Dave & I spoke to Keir guys today and they are willing to consider alterations as long as they are within the current space roughly, and agreed by this Friday. I’ve asked Karen Hodgson to provide a costing for the current plans for you to work to as any alterations would need sourcing and be doable within budget and timescales as set.
Their initial thoughts on the designs were that the pod was too restrictive, the lower glass partition looked good but would involve major delays as it was using the other side completely, and the swirly one would need the security issues addressing as it doesn’t allow any way of restricting access. -?issues with sourcing/costing woooden structure.
I’ve spoken to Paul and he knows the details-1 plan to be given via Karen…possibly an chink of light?!! Good luck

Dave & I bumped into Keir guys today-after showing them your ideas they agreed that they would consider alterations to plans if they were with them by Friday, to current costings and timescales.
I’ve spoken to Paul and asked Karen Hodgson to give you details of reception costing and timescales. 1 plan would need agreeing with her if changes are to be included.
Current thoughts on the designs are that:
-the pod is too claustraphobic
-the halfway glass is great but with it being on the other side of the building would incur delays as everything would need re-working completely
-the swirly one is lovely but doesn’t address security issues and there’s no way of restricting access to rest of building
I’m not around for the rest of the week but Dave is, but possibly this is a small chink of light?!?!? Good luck using the chink…
