Grand opening of UAA's ConocoPhillips Integrated Science Building draws crowd

More than 700 people came to help celebrate the grand opening of the new ConocoPhillips Integrated Science Building on Oct. 23.

Thanks to a diligent planning committee and dedicated volunteers, our community saw how UAA is taking science education and research to a new level. From science demonstrations to videos to a wonderful planetarium show, community members experienced a side of UAA that many have never before seen. The opening gave us a great opportunity to show the important work that faculty, students and staff are doing at UAA -- work that is the basis of Alaska's future progress.
