Regents' Great Hall sprinkler replacement planned
January 31, 2017
UAF Design and Construction will replace the sprinkler system and complete other upgrades
in the Regents' Great Hall from June through mid-November.
The mandatory project, necessary to meet building codes, will also include abatement
of asbestos in the ceilings and the demolition of adjacent wall finishes. A new suspended
ceiling will allow access for equipment maintenance. The finishes and lighting in
the space will be upgraded and refurbished.
Depending on funding and the schedule, there are plans to add an elevator to give
people with disabilities access to the Rasmuson Library and renovate the restrooms
in the corridor southeast of the Great Hall.
The restrooms in the corridor leading from the Great Hall to library are also scheduled
to be renovated this summer.
