Construction is wrapping on the new South Science Hall and East Science Hall facilities — part of the Science and Engineering Complex — at the site of the former Education Building on 14th Street South between University Boulevard and 10th Avenue South. The buildings will be home to campus’ basic sciences programs, including the departments of Biology and Physics and teaching labs for the Department of Chemistry.
The $76 million, 138,842-square-foot instructional facilities house classrooms alongside faculty and staff offices and features collaboration rooms designed to foster a team-learning environment and project-based research, plus labs that enable student shadowing. UAB broke ground on the project in fall 2021; completion is expected this summer, and classes will begin in fall 2023.
