Juneau, Alaska—The members of the Juneau Center of the School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences' Fisheries Division have moved into the brand new, 30,000 square foot Lena Point Fisheries Facility.
The new building is located about five miles north of the Juneau Center's previous facility at Auke Bay. The three-story facility houses nine laboratories, three classrooms, a teaching lab and large saltwater tanks for studying live sea creatures.
The Lena Point Fisheries Facility is co-located with the NOAA Ted Stevens Marine Research Institute, continuing a long tradition of collaboration between NOAA Fisheries and the Juneau Center.
The new address for the Juneau Center of the Fisheries Division is:
UAF SFOS Fisheries Division
17101 Point Lena Loop Rd.
Juneau, AK 99801
Lena Point Fisheries Facility
The new main phone number is 907-796-5441. All e-mail addresses remain the same.
A ribbon-cutting and building dedication is planned for April 2009.
