Capital Improvement Plan, 2004-2010
Appendix C
Middle School Space Specifications
The Anchorage School District has updated the space allocation for
middle schools. These are space
specifications for a middle school with a projected
enrollment of 1,058 students in grade 7 through 8.
The update is based upon the State of Alaska Secondary
Space Allocation of 150 square feet per
secondary student. New facilities will be about 158,000
square feet and be built upon a 30-acre site having
no existing infrastructure.
The District’s allocation recommendation is based on Mirror Lake
and Golden View middle schools. The revised educational
specification was approved by the SchoolBoard in October
2000.
In addition to the standard middle school curriculum, middle schools
will also provide educational programs for mainstreamed
special education students and students requiring tutorial
and special
services instruction. The space allocation for schools
with additional special education or special
services programs utilizing self-contained classrooms
may be granted an additional square footage allowance
with DOE approval.
