Dawson built a new campus for the Prince William Sound Science Center in Cordova, Alaska, a purpose-built facility designed to expand the Center's ability to serve K-12 students with hands-on learning about Alaska's marine ecosystems. The facility includes classrooms, laboratory spaces, visitor amenities, and outdoor learning areas positioned to take full advantage of Cordova's extraordinary natural setting.
Building in Cordova means navigating remote logistics, unpredictable weather, and limited local infrastructure, challenges Dawson has tackled across dozens of rural Alaska projects. The completed campus gives the Science Center a permanent home worthy of its mission: connecting the next generation to the marine environment that defines Prince William Sound.
The Prince William Sound Science Center's new campus gives Cordova a facility that matches the significance of its mission, connecting Alaska's next generation to the marine ecosystems of Prince William Sound. K-12 students now learn in purpose-built classrooms and labs, researchers have the infrastructure their work demands, and visitors experience a campus designed to showcase the natural environment. For a small fishing town that punches well above its weight in marine science, Dawson delivered a permanent home worthy of the Science Center's reputation.
From emergency repairs to ground-up builds, Dawson teams deliver across Southeast Alaska and Northwest Washington.
