Parking Lot Work to Begin July 27, 2016

Please be aware of intermittent parking lot closures over the coming weeks beginning July 27, 2016 due to painting and line striping in all lots across campus. Work to be performed is weather dependent and will be completed in the evening hours as much as possible, though some lots may be impacted during business hours. This work may also require that parking garages are closed intermittently to refresh paint and perform routine annual maintenance.

Watch for notice of closure or detour and contact UAA Parking Services at (907) 786-1119 with questions or concerns. Thank you for your understanding as we work to improve campus parking.
