Thursday, April 11, 2013

The University of Alaska has announced a partnership for naming rights and a scholarship fund supporting their new 5,600-seat arena.  The newly-dubbed Alaska Airlines Center provides a home for the Division I and Division II athletic programs at the University, and includes a 5,600-seat performance arena with suite seating, gymnastics practice gym, auxiliary gym, as well as athletic fitness and training facilities. Construction is underway on the much-anticipated Center and is due for completion in August 2014.  You can watch construction progressing in real-time, courtesy of Cornerstone General Contractors.  Our architectural partner for this project is McCool Carlson Green.
