Opening page of the 1990 Master Plan

This plan is the product of efforts begun in 1987 and culminating in 1990 with the formal approval of the University of Alaska Board of Regents. Through many sessions over many months, UAA faculty, staff, students and administrators worked with representatives of neighboring institutions, the municipal government and the community at large.

The resulting plan brings together facts, analyses and projections about land use, facilities use and needs, traffic circulation patterns, outdoor space management and utilities requirements for the Anchorage campus. Based on this information, recommendations are made in this plan which address the context within which UAA operates and the need for and attributes of a continuous master planning process.

This master plan sets forth goals and objectives which will serve future planners in both the short and long terms, independent of the rate of institutional growth. Thus, it establishes a framework for planning the development of the Anchorage campus in a rational, orderly way, while incorporating flexible approaches to ensure lasting utility across a wide range of changing circumstances.
