Southern Research Groundbreaking

Today we had the honor of being a part of the groundbreaking for the new Southern Research building in downtown Birmingham that will serve as the nexus for biotechnology in the state of Alabama.

“Today we're not just here to celebrate this new facility for Southern Research, but the vision for this project goes beyond a new building. It's about creating a better future for all of us and that's what excites me the most," said Mayor Randall Woodfin.

Healthcare design of the future

“When you walk in, there’s this nice feeling that represents the quality of the medical service that patients will receive, and at the same time relaxing the patient and giving them the confidence that they’re in a good place, and they will get top notch care.”

Conceptual Design Approved for Children's of Alabama Project

Williams Blackstock Architects is excited to be working with Children's of Alabama to design their new office space and parking deck. 

“This project will help to relieve parking congestion on our campus by adding this much-needed parking for staff, we can also dedicate space closer to the hospital itself for our patients’ families and visitors. There are many days, especially during cold and flu season, when our current parking is, quite frankly, inadequate.”
