With monies appropriated, the Health Department
Building renovation started in the summer of 2005. Although
completed a little behind schedule, the building – with all its new
windows, walls, lights, heating and ventilation systems plus an
electric solar array – is state of the art.
Dr. Alan Balsam, Director of Public Health, led the charge to get
the building to be as “green” as the budget would allow. Through his
tireless efforts, the building is LEED certifiable Silver, has many
design and construction green components such as the floor
materials, wall coverings, energy efficient equipment, lighting
controls down to the bike rack. The center piece is the solar
electric array mounted on the roof. Dr. Balsam was able to secure
grant monies from the Mass Technology Collaborative for partial
funding not only the design costs but also installation costs. Dr.
Balsam also held a fund-raiser to collect the necessary funds for
the array. The Building has its own generator for back-up power in
the event of an electrical supply failure.
The Health Department is presently located at the old Lincoln School
on Route 9. The staff is scheduled to return to the Health building
on September 18, 2006.
A dedication was held on Thursday, November 2, 2006 at 6:00 p.m.
Many people were on hand for this event.Updated :11/9/06 CAS |
