Alki Elementary School will undergo sizeable constructional changes after the Department of Neighborhoods Landmarks Preservation Board voted against nominating the school for landmark designation consideration.
One board member supported the nomination because of the modernist structure and wanting to preserve the work of architect Theo Damm. The second board member in support of landmark status voted because he heard a request from a community member during public comment. He also noted that the school district has an interesting relationship with its buildings, according to the historic preservation committee.
The district pursued changes to Alki Elementary due to an assessment labeling the buildings in “poor condition” in terms of structural analysis and educational adequacy. Studies conducted included a structural evaluation in 2012 by PCS Structural Solutions, a facilities and educational assessment by Meng Analysis in 2014, and a facilities and site assessment implemented by McKinstry in 2018, according to the district.
“When assessing the costs of the replacement of these existing systems and considering the requirements the city of Seattle will impose, it made economic sense to replace the existing administration and classroom wings at the school to better address the educational program needs of the district and better position our staff and students for successful academic outcomes,” said Best.
“The new school when constructed will create a warm, welcoming and accessible environment for all students, staff, and community members; and include updated security features that will enhance student and staff safety,” said Best. “In addition, the new school will provide a high-quality academic environment that will allow for individual, small group and large group instruction outside the classroom.
