REGENT’S POLICY:

Chapter 5.12 – Capital Planning and Facilities Management

P05.12.010. Purpose.

A. The purpose of this policy is to promote excellent stewardship for buildings, infrastructure and other facilities at each of the University of Alaska campuses: to set forth an expectation for achieving sustained funding that assures preservation of the investment in facilities and extends building life and usefulness; and to establish planning processes that provide accurate data for decision making and effective management.

C. Contents.

A campus master plan will contain, at minimum, maps, plans, drawings or renderings, and text sufficient to portray and describe the following elements. Projections will be developed for 10 years and may be developed for other intervals.

​

1. Projected enrollment, retention and completion rates, degree completion, program needs and other factors that affect the need for facilities;

​

• A current inventory of facilities, including the summary of space management analysis with current facility deficits and surpluses, and identification of structures that do not warrant continued investment and should be demolished;

​

• Projected facility needs, and the general location and scale of new facilities;

​

• General areas for land acquisition and disposal;

​

• The relationship of the campus to its surroundings, and coordination with local government land use plans and ordinances, and

​

• Short and long-term investment priorities based on the program resource planning process (P05.12.040);

​

• Guidelines for construction of new and renovated facilities, governing (a) landscaping, and developed outdoor spaces, (b) energy conservation, (c) signage, both freestanding and on buildings and structures, (d) architectural design, scale and style, (e) sustainability and environmental considerations, and (f) culture, including public art.

P05.12.050. Campus Master Plans.

master plan goal

The 2022 UAS Master Plan reinforces and strengthens a collective forward-looking vision providing a framework for its physical campus (buildings and land) through alignment with the UAS mission, vision, values, and core objectives, its Strategic and Academic plans, and is governed by the UA Board of Regents policies.

​

The plan envisions responsible stewardship of each of the UAS campuses, guiding informed and actionable steps to long-term physical investments.

UAS strategic objectives

Along with the UAS mission, vision and values, there are five core objectives that describe the fundamental aspects of the UAS core mission. They serve as organizing principles and strategies for UAS. They are:

• Provide Access to Higher Education to all Students
• Deliver academic excellence through instruction, scholarship, research and creative expression
• Increase Student Success
• Be a great place to work for all employees
• Maintain Relevance through Productive Relationships within Southeast Alaska

In alignment with Board of Regents’ policy, UAS Strategic Plan and Campus Master Plan objectives are:

All campuses have a deep connection to Native Culture, its traditions and practices by the mere fact it is situated on native lands. Additionally, all campuses at UAS have a physical connection to water and the study of marine environment through programs in aquaculture, marine biology and mariculture.

• Connect campus spine from Auke Lake to Auke Bay — use future development to connect Campus to Anderson and Integrated Sciences Building at Auke Bay.
• Enhance student access to both waterfront shorelines.
• Relocate “back-of-house” Facilties Services outside the central spine.
• Reserve premium development locations away from the central spine for future development as campus grows.

Within the Auke Lake Campus, Hendrickson Annex is renovated or replaced with a new facility servicing lakefront activities and campus events.

​

A new hillside Technical Education Center provides a glimpse of campus from Glacier Highway.

​

To enable this development, the consolidated Facilities Services is relocated to nestle into the forested NE edge.

Enhanced crossings at Back Loop Road / Auke Lake Way and to Auke Bay Science Complex via new campus trailheads.

​

Enhanced and expanded lakefront trails stitch together the lakeside buildings with east/west circulation for direct access to Auke Lake Way and further west to the roundabout at Glacier Highway.

With the addition of the hillside complex, housing TEC and NW Coast Arts programs, a strengthened connection between Auke Lake and Auke Bay develops.

​

Visibility from Glacier Highway into campus, as well as outward views to the iconic glacier and bay views, provide significant opportunity for enhanced branding, vibrancy and overall visibility.
