UPDATED: Single-lane Closure of Alumni Drive 7/9, Cooling Disruption for East Campus

UPDATE:Cooling for Engineering, Natural Sciences Library, Admin, and Arts will be impacted during this time. These buildings are cooled via wells, and the discharge flows through the storm drain lines.

---
On Friday, July 9th there will be a partial closure of Alumni Drive between East Campus Central Lot and Library NW Lot. Traffic will be restricted to one lane. Flaggers will be present to direct traffic around the impacted area.

This work is to re-line damaged storm drains within East Campus Central Lot, and is related to the prior storm drain work in the area.

UPDATED: Electrical Work at West Campus 7/10/15

UPDATE:
This work has been rescheduled to Friday, July 10th.

---
On Thursday, July 9th, Friday, July 10th, contractors will be conducting work on the electrical cabinet that serves West Campus. The work is required to isolate the Wells Fargo Sports Complex so new cabling can be installed.

A plan has been developed with the design team, the contractor, and ML&P that will enable the work to occur while maintaining power to the rest of West Campus. While a disruption of power is unlikely we will have a team on stand by to address any outage.

The following buildings are in the affected area:

• Allied Health Sciences
• ANSEP
• Auto Diesel Technology
• Beatrice McDonald Hall
• Bookstore
• Cuddy Hall
• Eugene Short Hall
• Gordan Hartlieb Hall
• Professional Studies Building
• Rasmuson Hall
• Sally Monserud Hall
• Student Union
• Wendy Williamson Auditorium

This work is related to the renovation of the Wells Fargo Sports Complex.

Update: Alumni Drive Closure Extended to 6/30, Impact to East Campus Cooling

The current closure of Alumni Drive has been extended to 6/30.

Last week crews began excavations to replace corroded storm drain pipe.

During much of this time cooling to Engineering, NSB, SSB, Library, Admin, and Arts will be offline. These buildings are cooled with ground water pumped via wells. The discharge from these wells flows into the storm drains and is currently flooding the trench in East Campus Central Lot

Alumni Drive Closure from 6/16 to 6/24

Beginning on or about Tuesday, 6/16, and continuing through Wednesday, 6/24, Alumni Drive will be closed between East Campus Central Lot/EBL and Library NW Lot (see map below).

This closure will coincide with excavation work in East Campus Central Lot. This will is to replace storm drain pipe that is badly corroded. Access to East Campus Central Lot and Central Garage will be maintained.

Following the excavation there will be intermittent single-lane closures of Alumni Drive as additional repairs are conducted.

Closure of Mallard Lane, June 10 to Fall 2015

Beginning Wednesday, June 10th Mallard Lane will be closed for construction.

In late 2014, the Neeser Construction to installed a temporary roadway for use by the University, local residents, the Anchorage School District, and the public. This closure will allow the contractor to construct the permanent roadway.

We expect the work to be completed and the road to reopen by the Fall semester.

Bragaw Office Complex Parking Lot Improvements

On Monday, June 8th a project to substantially improve the parking lots will begin at the Bragaw Office Complex. This work will include improved drainage; new asphalt, curbs, and striping; new planters; and, enhanced lightning.

The work will be phased to minimize the impact to available parking. See the map below for the current date ranges for closing the different lots.

ADA and pedestrian traffic will be maintained through all phases. On-site signage will direct people around the construction activities.

Providence Drive Full Closure, June 20 and 21

On June 20 and 21 Providence Drive will experience a full closure between Seawolf Dr./Piper St. and Spirit Intersections (see map below).

Piper Street is the detour route for through traffic. Spirit Way/Seawolf Drive will also be available for local traffic.

This closure is to allow Neeser Construction to remove scaffolding around the Health Campus Pedestrian Bridge.

Engineering Building Closed for Renovation, July 2015 to Fall 2016

Beginning mid-July the Engineering Building will be closed for renovation. The work is expected to take approximately 1 year, with the building intended to return to service Fall 2016.

The building closure will impact pedestrian flow between east and west campus. The atrium of the Engineering Building will be inaccessible. This will effectively remove the UAA Drive crosswalk as an option for east-west campus flow. The spine will remain open and people must utilize the stairwell and elevator in the spine to cross UAA Drive. Ample signage will be placed in the area to direct people.

Additional details will be posted as we near the closure.
