Accommodation details

The University of Alaska Anchorage has three Residence Halls-- North, East, and West, and two apartment communities-- Temple wood and the Main Apartment Complex (MAC). Residence Halls: North, East, and West Halls are the three Residence Halls in the UAA Housing community. Opened in 1998, the three halls house approximately 200 students each in Single, Double, and Quad Suites. On each floor, rooms are clustered on two wings, and feature common area lounges for studying and socializing, coin-operated laundry facilities, computer labs and a student-staffed service desk. Main Apartment Complex (MAC): The six-building Main Apartment Complex, known on campus as “MAC,” is located just west of the Residence Halls and offers apartment-style living for 296 students. Each apartment has four single-bedrooms, plus a kitchen, bathroom, living room, and storage area. Temple wood Apartments: The Temple wood Apartments are located on the southeastern side of the Student Housing area and offer twenty “town-house style” units housing a total of 80 students. The upper-level of each unit includes two single bedrooms, one shared bedroom, and two bathrooms. A kitchen, living room (complete with gas fireplace), half-bath, laundry room and storage closet are located on the middle level, and a two-car garage and additional storage complete the ground level. Televisions are not provided. Kitchens are not provided in the Residence Halls, therefore residents must select from one of the varied and convenient meal plans offered through UAA Dining.
