But in lieu of a traditional groundbreaking – and because the project involves expanding the current facility – key supporters were invited to sign and hammer nails into a commemorative rendering of the new space, which will be displayed when the project is complete.

Framed resolutions from the University of Alabama Board of Trustees were presented to donors who have made gifts to name spaces in the new building, including the UAB School of Nursing Board of Visitors and Junior Board of Visitors, Bill and Jan Ferguson, Sue Ellen and Mike Lucas, Dr. Karen Meneses and Dr. Patrick McNees, and Lee and Catherine Styslinger.

The event concluded with a Hard Hats and Hammers reception in the SON Building lobby. The project is scheduled for completion in 2018.
