Valdez Campus

The PWSCC Valdez Maintenance staff is dedicated to providing a clean, comfortable and safe environment for learning and work. They are responsible for building maintenance and repair, physical plant operation, grounds upkeep, snow removal, motor pool, building locks / keys, and custodial. This department also works closely with the University of Alaska Anchorage Facilities , Planning and Construction Department for major renovations and projects.

The main campus located at 303 Lowe Street known as the Growden-Harrison Bldg is one of the oldest buildings in Valdez , originally constructed as an elementary school (several current employees and students attended) shortly after the 1964 earthquake when the town site was relocated. In 1989 PWSCC moved classroom instruction and administrative offices into this space after completion of new K-12 school buildings.

The Student Housing complex was acquired in 1980 after the Alaska Pipeline construction era. Housing consists of three single story apartment style buildings with a large lawn area adjacent to the Valdez City Park Strip.

Many upgrades and improvements have been made over the past several decades to these facilities and the PWSCC maintenance staff is proud of our historic buildings and their excellent condition.
