A touchstone space of your student experience.
Find University Hall just off the Campus Green, anchoring the west side of campus. As UAB’s first-ever LEED-certified building, University Hall set a new standard for sustainability and reaffirmed the University’s commitment to greener long-term decision-making. Inside, you’re likely to see students and faculty representing a multitude of diverse disciplines; that’s because University Hall is home to seven departments of the College of Arts and Sciences. Students and faculty from fields including philosophy and computer science will cross paths in University Hall’s 110,000 square feet. 23 classrooms, 167 faculty offices, and a 300-seat auditorium are just a few reasons why University Hall represents a world-class step forward for the College of Arts and Sciences.
From every angle, University Hall welcomes those willing to learn.
Exterior
University Hall was designed with accessibility and sustainability in mind. Two levels of ground floor access and easily navigable ramps welcome students into multiple points of entry. On the building’s south side, you’ll see a Heritage Tree, a symbol of UAB’s commitment to keeping campus as green as possible during construction.
Education and design work in concert to focus on the future.
