UAF purchases building in Seward
March 26, 2013
School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences personnel in Seward will be moving this summer into new space recently acquired by UAF.
UAF purchased the 19,000 square-foot Orca Building as part of shore-side support preparations for R/V Sikuliaq. SFOS will use about 5,000 square feet for offices and training space. The rest of the space will be leased to other tenants, including the State of Alaska and tribal consortium Chugachmiut, Inc.
The two-story building, located at 201 3rd Avenue, is conveniently adjacent to existing SFOS facilities. Staff are expected to move in by July 1, with additional renovations planned throughout the fall.
