What Should Become the Old STEM Building | Anchorage News

The city’s taking charge of the old Campbell STEM building—and wants YOU to help decide its future. After the school shut down, frustrated parents and neighbors say the district ignored them. Now, the city’s opening the space to nonprofits with bold, community-focused ideas—no retail, no corporate takeovers. A recent meeting sparked passionate calls to keep it public: a community hub, after-school programs, or even a playground. A failed vote to reopen the school using state funds hasn’t stopped the push. Proposals are due August 14—and this process could become a blueprint for how cities handle vacant schools. Your voice matters. Your neighborhood’s future is being shaped right now. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
