A Collaboration in Brick and Mortar
The University of Alabama at Birmingham recently broke ground on a new building for the Collat School of Business that also will house the Bill L. Harbert Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The building is designed to make room for growth of the business school and the Harbert institute by providing multi-purpose space that encourages student interactions. It will include breakout rooms for team projects, classrooms designed for team-based learning, a high-tech trading room, labs for behavioral research and sales presentations, a three-story atrium, career services space and study rooms for students, according to a statement from UAB. “By housing these two entities under the same roof, this facility will be a new home for innovation on our campus and will play a future role in the growth of UAB and the growth of innovation and technology in Birmingham,” UAB President Ray L. Watts said in the statement. Community leaders including Charles Collat, Mayer Electric chairman emeritus; Ed Aldag, chairman, president and CEO of Medical Properties Trust; and Billy Harbert, chairman and CEO of BL Harbert International attended the ceremony to help shovel the first pile of dirt at the site. Construction is set to officially begin Dec. 19 and will take
