M. J. Harris provided General Contracting services on a LEED Silver Residence Hall and Dining Facility for UAB. It is a U-shaped, post-tension concrete structure on deep foundations with brick veneer, cast stone, curtainwall and storefront. The building has a five-story, six-story, and seven-story terraced wing and includes a storm shelter. UAB is a dense, urban campus, and we constructed this project on a small, compact site amidst a fully functional college campus.

MJ Harris's project team overcame obstacles encountered during construction especially during the peak of the pandemic, but their hard work and diligence were necessary and appreciated by all involved.
