Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center: 'bridge between cultures.'.(BUILDING ALASKA)
An extraordinary bridge between the public sector and private sector, Native and non-Native organizations, rural and urban cultures is under construction in downtown Fairbanks.
When the 35,000-square-foot Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center opens in fall 2008, it will provide a one-stop facility for visitors and residents who want to explore the wide range of cultures in Interior Alaska.
The center will house the Fairbanks Convention and Visitors Bureau; Alaska Public Lands Information Center; cultural and education programs of the Tanana Chiefs Conference; and Native elders organization, Denakkanaaga.
Space for exhibits, a theater, an artisans' workshop and demonstration area, an elders' gathering area, cultural and environmental classrooms is also included in the design.
"It will unfold a whole range of opportunities between Fairbanks and the rural region around us," says Deb Hickok, president of the Fairbanks Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The center is designed to enrich the ties between rural and urban cultures, she says. It will provide vastly improved visitor information and services, including parking and restrooms. In the future, the center may also help build tourism economies in Interior villages.
"We're excited about the possibilities and I think they're going to be boundless," Hickok says.
