Heated Utilidors
Planned For
Alaska University
JUNEAU — Heated utilidors
%
carrying steam, water, electricity
i and telephone lines, along with
power house improvements, for
the buildings on the University off
Alaska campus at College near
Fairbanks are prpposed for con
struction in the near future, with
sealed bids now being received
until March 26 at the district
office of the Alaska Public Works
in Juneau.
Extreme sub-zero temperatures
over long periods in the Fair
banks area make it necesary that
utilities be carried in such utili
dors, engineers point out. Be
sides the inconvenience of a
breakdown in water service, the
lack of water due to freezing of
lines adds to a fire hazard recog
nized by all property owners in
such climates where the excessive
cold draws moisture from build
ings, leaving them tinder-dry. The
new utilidors, which have been
designed by Victor C. Rivers, reg
istered engineer of Anchorage,
will improve and extend the dis
tribution of water, steam, and
electricity to buildings on the
campus. Of interest to construc
tion contractors and engineers is
the alternate specification in the
plans for corrugated metal versus
reinforced concrete.
This construction is the first
unit under a master plan for ex
tending utlities on the campus
and improving the central facil
ities which provide water, steam,
and electrical service. The master
utility plan is in accord with a
master layout plan for the campus
which was recently adopted by
the Board of Regents, after hav
ing been prepared by Prentiss
French, landscape architect and
land planner of San Francisco.
The master plan presents an or
derly development of the future
physical plant of the university,
including buildings, landscaping,
recreational space, and thorough
fares.
