UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA ANCHORAGE NEW SCIENCE BUILDING

Wow! The new University of Alaska Anchorage Integrated Science Building is spectacular. Along with several other legislators, I was invited to tour the new building. More than just great functional architecture, the building about doubles the space available for science students. If Alaska is going to progress as it should, we must have the university facilities needed to serve our university brain power here at home. As University President Mark Hamilton says, we need to " . . . raise up our hands and say, yes, we can meet the challenges of the next 50 years."
