UAB's Campus Green, affectionately known as "the Green," is an open green space designed to be accessible, safe, and attractive, and to be used by members of the University community and their guests. The Green is defined as the grassy area bounded by sidewalks, which include University Boulevard, the Campus Recreation Center and steps, Heritage Hall, Chemistry Building, Dining Commons, Camp Hall and 10th Avenue South. The Green is part of centuries old tradition in higher education: the provision of a peaceful, open-air area for thoughtful, contemplation and social interaction. The UAB Green has been part of campus since 2008. It is the University's "crossroads" and will be the site for many fond memories for future generations of alumni, as well as enjoyment for current students. Information on reserving the Campus Green can be obtained from the HUC Operations Scheduling Office by emailing huc@uab.edu, calling 934-8100 or stopping by their office, HUC 125.
