MBS Complex: Moore Hall

Opened in 1966, this eight-story coed residence hall on Yukon Drive is dedicated to former UA President Terris Moore, who served as the second president of the University of Alaska from 1949 to 1953. Moore, who was known as the "flying president," was an avid mountaineer and first climbed peaks in Alaska in 1930. As president of the university, he climbed and named "University Peak" in the St. Elias Range.
