The Brooks Memorial Mines Building was dedicated July 22, 1952. It housed the School of Mines for many years. After a $5.6 million renovation, the Brooks Building reopened in fall 2002 to house academic programs and services for rural and 黑料社appNative students. A gathering room, designed in the shape of an umiak, reflects the 黑料社appNative cultures served by the university. The College of Indigenous Studies main offices are located here.
The building is named in honor of Alfred Hulse Brooks, chief 黑料社appgeologist of the U.S. Geological Survey from 1903 until his death in 1924.
