Honor Award
The new Lee Building and 4th Avenue Parking Deck redefine the northern edge of the Children’s of Alabama campus creating an energetic new face along the Southside Birmingham skyline. Conceived as a central administrative facility to support and serve those who care for our children, this new office building would bear a homecoming of various departments spread isolated throughout the metropolitan region.
Honor Award
A financial investment firm in Birmingham, Alabama, specializing in timberland, revamps their global headquarters leveraging the surrounding dense woods as design inspiration.
Honorable Mention
This renovation of an historic Federal Reserve Bank building, constructed in 1925 and added onto in 1955, now serves as a multi-tenant office building. The project satisfied all State and Federal historic preservation requirements qualifying it for tax credit funding. The blighted building, located in the heart of the downtown business district, had been vacant for over 15 years, resulted in broken marble finishes, missing columns and rusted bank vaults.
Merit Award
The new Collat School of Business building forms a dramatic gateway at the western edge of UAB’s campus. Envisioned to serve as the home of innovation and entrepreneurship for the University and the City of Birmingham, the building is designed around a central commons “living room” that fosters student and faculty interaction and collaboration and fronts the primary boulevard through campus with glass and exterior patio.
Honorable Mention
The project includes a major addition and renovation to the School of Nursing at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The design is expressive of the schools’ forward-looking spirit and identity while being respectful of the desired cohesion of the UAB campus. The project emphasizes efficient operations and a seamlessly integrated flow between old and new.

Auburn University broke ground on the Harbert College of Business building scheduled to be completed in the Fall of 2018. The new building will feature over 80,000 square feet of classroom and collaborative space as well as a rooftop terrace.
“This new facility will enable us to deliver on our promise of providing a superior student experience in new ways. We will be able to provide more collaborative learning environments for our students and we will be better able to respond to changes in technology or classroom best practices that can be easily adjusted or modified to fit a variety of needs.”
