Middle School Space Specifications
The Anchorage School District is in the process of updating 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 will be
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 will be based on Mirror Lake and Golden
View middle schools. The revised ed spec will be presented to the Board before
the end of the school year.
In addition to the standard middle school curriculum, middle schools will also
provide educational programs for main-streamed 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.
