She explained that the architects, construction manager and building committee would, “Work very quickly and with determination,” to find, “Significant cost savings.” Baker stressed, however that these savings would be achieved without, “Degrading the integrity or design of the building,” and that, “Everything” would be still be at code while occupancy numbers and functionality were retained.

Acknowledging that a “delay is inevitable” in the planned building timeline now, Baker said that the building committee should have a, “Much better handle” on how the project will move forward after their next meeting scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 14, at 5 p.m.
