LIFE SCIENCES FACILITY
Center of Excellence in Life Science Learning and Discovery for Alaska.. Affect over 1500 students (biology and wildlife majors and most popular science elective) Collaborative research and teaching that is relevant to Alaska Life Sciences facilities have not been modernized since Bunnell was built in 1959! For every $1 invested by the state, t UAF secures another $6.30 in research funding. Source: UAF Planning, Analysis and Institutional Research Research is Teaching by doing.
Life Sciences Facility Scope of Work Once complete, Life Sciences will provide multiuse teaching and research labs, classrooms, and office space for life science research and academic purposes. The research portion will provide nearly 60,000000 gross square feet (gsf) of much-needed research lab space for biology programs. The teaching portion will provide 40,000 gross square feet of academic classroom and lab space for biology and wildlife degree programs. Within the approximately 100,000 gsf, offices will be constructed for faculty (principal investigators) with research labs in the building. Offices will also be provided for the biology and wildlife degree program such that the department chair and administrative staff will be housed in Life Sciences; making them more accessible to the students they serve. Life Sciences will be constructed with the most current, energy efficient and sustainable materials available to a project in such a northern climate.
Life Sciences Facility Scope of Work The exterior will feature high insulation value cladding and translucent panels and glass windows will be held to a minimum and placed such to maximize safety, the view shed, building aesthetics, and to capture natural lighting. Teaching labs will feature moveable and fixed casework that will allow rooms to act as both classrooms and class labs, thus increasing the utilization of the space. Research labs will follow the national trend of being open and modular to adapt to changing research needs. Lab support spaces will be created around the labs to house large equipment, fume hoods, freezers, and more. Additional utilities work will include construction of a utilidor for service piping, installation of sanitary and storm drainage, and installation of steam absorption chiller units for a district cooling loop. A specialty lab may be created in the building to support research radiology with the possible installation of two (2) Magnetic Resonance Imaging machines.
