Life Sciences Facility construction update
June 17, 2011
Work progresses on the new Life Sciences Facility currently under construction on the Fairbanks campus.
Two lines of footings for the building have been poured on the south side and the taller walls are in progress. A 200‐foot crane is set for the wall form placement, rebar installation and future steel erection.
The space will provide multi-use teaching and research labs, classrooms, and office space for life science research and academic purposes. The research portion will provide nearly 60,000 square feet of lab space for biology research. The teaching portion will provide 40,000 square feet of academic classroom and lab space for biology and wildlife degree.
