The office will close May 6 at 809 S. Chugach and reopen May 12 on the second floor of Kerttula Hall, 1509 S. Georgeson Drive. The new space has a larger classroom and access to the videoconference network for teaching opportunities. It is also the first major move toward physically merging the School of Natural Resources and CES.

"It is a move that I think should have happened long ago. It will help us to better tie our missions together and make sure that the people of Alaska are getting the latest scientific research-based information to help them lead a sustainable lifestyle.This move should greatly benefit the people of the Matanuska-Susitna Valley and the state of Alaska as well."
