ASD has an obligation to taxpayers to address these design oversights when asking for voter support.
As lifelong supporters of the Anchorage School District and Inlet View Elementary School, as well as active participants in the community, we cheered when ASD decided to address the longstanding concerns associated with this aging school. Recently, a number of us got together to discuss some vexing problems with the proposed replacement school to see if there were options that could address our concerns.
As the new design has evolved, it became apparent that many of the school district’s own design guidelines for siting and orientation were ignored, key among them the provisions for solar design and community orientation. These guidelines include ASD’s Elementary School Educational Specifications, and Northern Building Design, a compendium of treatises covering design for Alaska’s unique climatic conditions.
Why are the service, loading, and waste recycling areas given the best solar orientation, while the program spaces, with the exception of half of the classrooms, do not get any direct sunlight? Why did the design not anticipate cold air flowing down from L Street, creating a cold trap at the main entrance? Why isn’t the building’s entry plaza oriented to take advantage of the afternoon sun in the spring and fall, traditional times that parents and children gather for after-school and community...
