| The
six new buildings are carefully sited to create a long formal campus
green with the Administration Building on LaGrange Road and the residences
clustered around private courtyards toward the rear of the site.
The brick detailing, projecting dormers, and entry
porches of each of the new buildings make reference to the historic
buildings on Bellewood’s Campus and to its siting within the
heart of Anchorage.
The administrative staff, counselors, and boardroom
will all be housed in the new 10,000 square foot Administration
Building. The well articulated entry lobby and reception area are
centrally located with therapy in the east wing, administrative
offices in the west wing, and board room to the south.
Eight children will live in each of the five 5,000
square foot Cottages, which were designed around a centrally located
staff office that overlooks a large 1,000 square foot living room
with a vaulted ceiling, skylights and wood detailing. From this
central room all of the other living spaces and bedrooms can be
monitored by the staff. |
