The UAB School of Engineering is a vibrant and vital part of many collaborative activities at the university. There are UAB Engineering faculty and students all across campus working in a number of research labs, centers, and offices. The school has six primary locations.
Frances and Miller Gorrie Hall
Opened in 2025, Gorrie Hall is the heart of the School of Engineering. The fifth floor is home to the Dean's Office, as well as administrative offices for academic departments and faculty.
On the second floor, the Alabama Power Student Success Center has offices for academic advisors, the Peer Tutoring Lab, and Engineering Career Services. The Brasfield and Gorrie Employees Student Commons provides additional space for studying.
The fourth floor is home to the Engineering and Innovative Technology Development (EITD) research group. That group is known primarily for its work with NASA, which includes a current $37-million contract to design lunar freezer system.
