Reading time: 3 minutes
This past week, 17 new building permits were issued statewide for construction projects exceeding $1 million. The largest of these is a $190 million project on the University of Alabama at Birmingham campus.
Here’s more on these new building permits:
UAB Biomedical Research and Psychology Building
on a new eight-story, $190 million facility for the Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine and College of Arts and Sciences.
The Biomedical Research and Psychology Building, made possible by $152 million in federal funding, and championed by retired United States Senator Richard Shelby, will house research-intensive faculty from the Heersink School of Medicine and the Department of Psychology.
The eight-story, 228,735-square-foot facility will include wet and dry research laboratories and research support spaces, which will provide the flexibility necessary for investigators from various disciplines to utilize the space.
“The addition of this state-of-the-art facility will help us build on our $780 million in annual research expenditures and continue the most successful era of research in UAB history. Most importantly, it will allow us to expand our research portfolio to save and improve more lives.”
Ray L. Watts, UAB president
Design of the facility was completed by Birmingham-based architectural firm Williams Blackstock Architects, and construction will be implemented by Birmingham-based general contractor Brasfield & Gorrie.
Construction is expected to be complete by summer 2026.
