Appendix C

Elementary Space Specifications

Return to Table of Contents | Appendix C

The general space specification for an elementary school is based on projected enrollment of about 550 students in grades K-6. Based upon the State of Alaska Elementary Space Allocation of 106.25 square feet per elementary student, a school will be approximately 58,300 square feet and will be built upon a 15-acre site having no existing infrastructure.

It should be noted that these are preliminary educational space specifications and may change after detailed review of the schematic design.

In addition to the standard elementary school curriculum, this facility will also provide pull out educational programs in resource rooms for main-streamed special education students and students requiring tutorial 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.
