The University of Alabama at Birmingham continues to implement its strategic plan and campus master plan by building new facilities and renovating existing spaces to enhance opportunities for success across UAB’s mission pillars of education, research innovation and economic development, community service and patient care.
The development of UAB’s physical campus plays a role in the recruitment and retention of students, faculty and staff, offering spaces to live, study and work.
UAB’s new strategic plan support the institution’s strategic growth, including the physical evolution of the campus, exemplified in 12 projects. Several of these projects also directly support UAB’s Research Strategic Initiative: Growth with Purpose, an institution-wide effort to aggressively expand UAB’s research portfolio and multiply the positive impact we have on people’s lives.
The additions of new research buildings, and renovations of existing ones, bring new state-of-the-art technology to UAB, allow for the retention of existing and the hiring of new investigators to expand UAB’s research portfolio and impact, and allow for additional private and public funding opportunities.
