Neighborhood connections, efficient pedestrian and vehicular circulation, age-appropriate, innovative play, water-wise native planting, athletic fields, open gathering spaces and educational outdoor opportunities abound at Alsup.

The design of Alsup has a central building “plaza” at the heart of a two-winged “hinge”, connected along a pathway of spaces and hallways.

Specials, ECE, admin, classrooms, special ed suite, and learning suites for grades K-2 are located on the first floor.

The second floor of the classroom wing includes learning suites for grades 3-5, a special needs suite and a staff resource and collaboration area.

Materials are warm and contemporary. Interior spaces are intimately scaled, while many spaces for collaboration in large groups are provided.

One enters through an exterior community courtyard and secure entry, then welcomed into the heart of the building with the media and community resource spaces.

The central plaza is vibrant: students studying in the media center, parents interacting in the community room and people moving from spaces throughout the day.

The Technology Studio/STEAM Room is showcased front and center and visible from the exterior at night. Collaborative projects are visible from the central plaza.

The Music Studio can open to the Cafeteria via the Stage. The Cafeteria accommodates assembly seating. The Cafeteria also opens to the main playgrounds.

Each grade level has its own small group space and flexible furniture. Small breakout and presentation spaces are accessible within each learning suite.

The Teacher Resource/Collaboration room provides individual work spaces and a collaboration table for planning and coordination between staff members.

The special needs learning lab has flexible furnishings, abundant storage, and multiple spaces within the room for various activities and learning.

Outdoor areas have collaborative space. A courtyard with seating, natural element play area, outdoor classroom, and presentation space are flexible and full of activity.

The ECE wing has a fenced playground and appropriate equipment. The site features a learning garden, reading nooks, plaza, seating, picnic tables, and play areas.

Alsup achieved ‘CHPS Verified Leader’ certification through the Collaborative for High Performance Schools, a sustainability certification specifically for schools.
