Public notice: Applied Science Building sale

Dec. 12, 2025

The University of Alaska will accept public comments, through public notice, this month on the proposed sale of the Applied Science Building at the Bristol Bay Campus in Dillingham.  

The building is one of two ������̳ buildings in Dillingham. It currently houses a University of Alaska Anchorage nursing program and an Alaska Sea Grant agent. The building also has three apartments, two of which are publicly rented and one that is reserved for university use. 

UAF plans to move all of the academic, student support and outreach programs currently housed in the Applied Science Building to the main Bristol Bay Campus building across the street. No interruption of academic programs is anticipated.

“The university is currently in discussions with the Alaska Housing and Finance Corporation regarding the building,” said Bryan Uher, UAF’s interim vice chancellor for rural, community and Native education. “They have shown interest in acquiring the property to address housing needs in the community.” 

UAF’s plan to sell the building is not related to the recent loss of federal grant funding for Alaska Native- and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions.

The sale will allow the university to use money previously spent on maintenance and operations of the building for academic programs, student support services and new training options.

“UAF remains committed to the Bristol Bay Campus and the Dillingham community,” Uher said. “The sale of this facility would allow the campus to consolidate resources and programmatic activity to create a more vibrant, supportive and financially sustainable campus over the long term.”
