Each year the Civil and Environmental Engineering department holds a competition to build an ice arch on campus, part of a 90-year tradition at UAF.
The ice arch is typically part of the Engineers Week celebration, which this year kicks off Sunday, Feb. 19. The 2012 arch will be built following a design by engineering major Andy Chamberlain. His was the winning choice from four designs submitted in December.
