[UPDATED] Bookstore Plaza closed starting week of June 18 for roofing project

Beginning the week of June 18 the Bookstore Plaza and portions of South Lot will be closed due to a roofing project. Access to the Bookstore and Student Union will be maintained via an adjacent pathway. See the map below for the building access detour. We expect the roofing project to be completed by late July.

East Campus Pedestrian Detours

East Campus between UAA Drive and Alumni Drive will have a significant amount of construction activity this summer. Pedestrian flow through the area will be impacted.

Projects in this area include:

• The closure of Central Garage
• Partial renovation of the Library
• Municipality of Anchorage expansion of the People Mover bus stop

The most significant impact will be access to the Library. For the summer the Library can only be accessed via the north entrance. From the SSB you must walk around the exterior of the library via the Library Plaza and the sidewalk adjacent to the parking lot. 

Please follow detour signs and be aware of equipment and personnel operating in the area. 

Summer Construction Impacts to Parking and Trails

A number of upcoming maintenance and construction projects will limit availability of parking in and around central UAA campus between May 7, 2018 and approximately August 14, 2018.

The largest impact will be the closure of the Central Parking Garage (CPG) and a portion of the adjacent East Campus Central Lot from May 7 to August 10. This summer closure will allow completion of multiple projects simultaneously. These projects include upgrades and updates to lighting, drainage, garage decks, stairwells, and finishes to improve visibility and navigability. This project will impact pedestrian traffic between west and east campus. The detour route will be from 2nd floor NSB through the CPG section of the spine to 2nd floor SSB - see the map below for additional information.

North Library Lot will be unavailable from May 7 to August 17 to facilitate work on the HVAC and old mechanical systems within the Library.

Portions of Library Lot closest Providence Drive will be impacted by a Municipal project that will also affect westbound traffic flow and pedestrian routes from May 14 to August 17. Watch for signs to redirect pedestrian traffic coming from UAA Housing and trails.

Portions of West Lot near Providence Drive and potentially South Lot near the Bookstore will be unavailable intermittently between June 1 to August 3 to allow for roof replacement and project staging.

Event requests for summer parking accommodation (groups, waivers, should be submitted at the UAA Parking Services web page, use the FORMS button. If you witness unsafe conditions, please report to: 786-6980

Thank you for your understanding as we work to improve campus conditions for you. Please direct parking questions to UAA Parking Services 786-1119 and Facilities questions to 786-1346

Pedestrian Detour Route

Available parking for Summer 2018

Central Garage Closure, September 15-26

Starting Friday, September 15 and continuing through Tuesday, September 26, the Central Garage will be closed to all parking. This closure is to facilitate repairs to drain lines within the garage. This past winter the drains frequently backed up, creating large areas of ice. This resulted in unsafe conditions for vehicles and pedestrians. These repairs will address this issue. The East Garage and Engineering Garage will continue to be available during this time, as will the surface lot in front of Central Garage.

Thank you for your understanding.
For questions, please call Parking Services: 786-1119

Updated Pedestrian Detour for South Lot Repair Work

There has been a change to the pedestrian access route for EIB and ANSEP around the repair work in South Parking Lot. Due to adjacent utility work in Providence Drive the previously announced pedestrian detour route for access to EIB and ANSEP will be unavailable. Pedestrian access to the EIB and ANSEP will now be along Spirit Dr. See the map below.

Expect a significant presence of large truck traffic entering and leaving the South Lot as a result of the EIB walkway and parking lot project. Caution should be taken when walking to/from your vehicles in this area, especially when near the site fence access gates. Please do not enter or walk through the active construction area.

South Lot and EIB Sidewalk Repairs, August 1 to August 25

On August 1 Neeser Construction will start repairs to the South Lot and sidewalk adjacent to the Engineering and Industry Building. They are expected to complete the work by August 25. See the map below for the anticipated impacts to the South Parking Lot and west EIB sidewalk.

The main entry to the EIB will be closed. Pedestrian traffic going to/from South Parking Lot will be directed to the sidewalk south of EIB. Additionally, the Pay-&-Park will be unavailable during this time.

UPDATE: Partial Closure of Seawolf Drive

Starting Monday, July 10 Seawolf Drive will experience a partial closure. This is to conduct repairs on a failed fire hydrant next to the Rasmuson Hall. Traffic will detour through the Sports Center West Lot. Due to the detour traffic parking will not be available in the Sports Center West Lot.

This project was previously announced for June 23. Circumstances forced a delay in the schedule.

SU/Bookstore Service Lot Repair

On the morning of June 19th a minor sink hole was discovered around the storm drain within the SU/Bookstore service lot. The area has been cordoned off and crews are assessing repair options. Until the repairs are complete there will be no access to the SU loading dock. Expect a lot of activity in this area over the next few weeks.

UPDATE: Area Impacted by the Alumni Drive Closure

Due to the nature of the work, the area impacted by the storm drain repair work on Alumni Drive has been expanded. The sidewalks and paths around the Fine Arts Building will remain open. ADA spaces have been temporarily relocated.

South Lot Repairs underway

On Tuesday, May 23 ground boring activity will occur in South Lot. The row of South Lot adjacent to the Engineering and Industry Building will be offline as a result of this activity. There was significant ground heaving during the seasonal break up this year. This work will inform our approach to mitigating this heaving in the future.

Engineering Parking Garage is Open

The Engineering Parking Garage is open and available for parking. The top level is currently closed. No special permit is required. The garage can be accessed via a new service road off of Mallard Lane. The garage is connected to the Engineering & Computational Building by a skybridge, allowing for easy access to the campus spine network. A new shuttle stop is also located outside the garage.

South Lot Resurfacing, August 1 and 2

On August 1 and 2 the South Parking Lot will be closed for resurfacing. Please utilize other parking lots on West Campus during this time.

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.

Excavation Work in East Campus Centra Lot, Beginning 7/18

Minor excavation work in East Campus Central Lot will begin on Monday, July 18th. This work will consume approximately 8 spaces. Contractors and equipment may operate outside of the boundaries, so please be aware.

This work is to follow up on last week's investigation into a potential water main leak. No disruption to building water service is expected at this time.
