With its striking double helix, this genomic medicine and data sciences building at University of Alabama Birmingham stands out for its innovative use of glass. The exterior combines SunGuard™ SNX 51/23 coating with Guardian Bird1st™ Etch glass on clear. Acid-etched dots in a DNA-inspired pattern make the glass visible to birds while preserving a sleek, scientific, transparent aesthetic. Recognized by the Audubon Society, the building is also LEED Silver® certified.
