Design team shows updated renderings; committee weighs color and material trade-offs

Mary Lee, the designer, shared updated renderings of the school's front entry, cafeteria and classroom facades and emphasized that colors and materials shown are placeholders. She explained the goal is to balance cost and character: accent colors and tall entry elements will draw attention to main approach areas while more cost-sensitive materials may be chosen after pricing.

Committee members sampled color ideas — one suggested red to reflect Littleton's apple history, though Mary Lee said red made the elevation resemble a fire station in early tests. The team agreed renderings and select graphics can be shown publicly to convey design direction, while detailed security and mechanical documents should not be shared online for safety reasons.
