Construction update -- June 8, 2018
|
It isn't summer without construction, and there's plenty of it on and around the Fairbanks campus. The work will make sure our buildings and roadways function safely and well. Driving, parking and walking will be affected, so be sure to plan ahead and give yourself extra time to reach your destination. Follow the signs, be patient and safe, and have a great summer!
