This past week, 22 new building permits were issued statewide for construction projects exceeding $1 million. These included four projects in Auburn, 12 projects in the Birmingham metro and four in the Huntsville area.

One of the largest of these permits is for a renovation project at the Ziegler Building on the campus of the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

The Zeigler Medical Research Building is a ten story, 60,000 square foot research building on the UAB campus which contains laboratories for UAB’s Departments of Anesthesiology, Biochemistry & Molecular Genetics, Genomics & Pathobiology, Medicine, Microbiology, Pathology, Surgery and the UAB Liver Center.

Last year, the University of Alabama Board of Trustees approved a $13 million project to renovate an 11,800 square-foot area of the 5th floor for research, imaging and procedures. This past week, a $5.6 million permit was approved for Southeastern Industrial Construction for this project.

Details of the project can be viewed here.
