Sherlock, Smith & Adams designed the Richard M. Scrushy Building at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) as a phased expansion of the School of Health Related Professions.

The four-story building has 76,000 GSF of space to accommodate faculty offices, laboratories and lecture spaces from four interrelated departments within the School. Those four departments are Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Critical Care, and Diagnostic & Therapeutic Sciences.

The building connects directly to the SS&A-designed UAB Learning Resources Center and faces Unity Park. Students and faculty interact in modern laboratories and media-equipped environments that push the envelope of medical education.

The building exterior, composed of brick, precast concrete and glass, is designed to easily accommodate future upward and northward additions. The project was completed in January, 2002.
