Construction to partially close Tanana Loop April 1

March 18, 2013

2012 summer construction projects continues on campus.

Tanana Loop road will close April 1 from the west end of the Bunnell Building to the east side of the Duckering Building and will remain closed for two years. A temporary road will be built later this year from Salcha Street to the South Bunnell lot to allow parking as the Tanana Loop closure extends to the intersection and closes access to the parking lot to the south.

Contractors for the Wood Center Dining expansion and Engineering Building will be on site by April 15. The number of projects in this centralized location may inconvenience students, employees and visitors to campus. You can help by learning more about the projects. Please consider attending one of the following informal Q and A sessions:

Tuesday, March 19 in the Great Hall from 1 – 3 p.m.

Tuesday, March 19, in the Akasofu Building Lobby from 3:30 – 4:30 p.m.

Recording available for the March 6 forum with project managers.

The new projects will add more than 150,000 square-feet of new space to the campus. They will significantly change the look and feel of the campus core and help better serve our students.

There are a number of projects happening this summer:

A sewer line replacement will close Tanana Loop road between the Duckering Building and the Fine Arts Complex from June through August.

A temporary fire lane will be redirected near Fine Arts and a chilled water line will be constructed from Constitution Park to Wood Center.

The Margaret Murie Building will be completed this summer and a number of department moves will begin as space is reallocated.

The Butrovich Building sidewalk replacement and retaining wall repair project will begin June 10, which will affect access to the building and the lot. Most employees will need to park across the street for the duration of the project.
