Mission

UAA Facilities Planning & Construction exists to facilitate and manage the design, implementation andconstruction of comfortable, safe and cost-effective facilities for UAA students, staff & faculty.

In support of our departmental mission, we strive to maintain accurate and up-to-date
information pertaining to the University of Alaska Anchorage's capital assets, and
provide support, analysis and accurate space inventory information which will aid
campus officials and administrators in making good business and educational decisions.
Our guiding principles and key strategies for this work is identified in the 2022
Campus Facilities Master Plan. The themes highlighted in the approved campus master plan are organized by the following
statements:

• Density Matters:  The presence of people is important. Lower enrollment and
  remote instruction as a result of the global pandemic have negatively affected the
  sense of community and belonging at UAA and created a desire to attract more
  people to campus.
•  Identity is important:  Clear boundaries, well-designed spaces and program
  identification allow the UAA community to feel safe and at home on campus,
  which supports efforts to attract and retain students.
• Outward-facing Student Support is Effective:  Visible, easily located and accessible student services will more successfully provide equitable entry andsustained access to education.
• Public and Community Access is Vital:  Inviting the community onto campus,
  “unlocking the doors,” provides the necessary intellectual and cultural exchange
  required at a university and potentially provides alternative sources of funding.
• A Well-Kept Home Shows Attention and Strength:  Making sure all buildings are
  maintained and modernized displays the administration’s holistic concern for
  UAA and a long-term commitment through investment.
• Community Engagement and Collaborative Experiences are Critical:  Provide a
  more vibrant environment for authentic, memorable student experiences with
  links to K-12 community, workforce development, and U of A programs that
  become a seamless stream of accessible academic opportunities for a wider
  range of ages and incomes.

To this end, the master plan offers key strategies short term and long term to improve
the student experience, community experience, and campus experience at all of the
UAA campuses.
