Jessica Owens of Furnishings and Design has been hard at work, completing the renovation of Houser Hall. Originally built in 1949, Houser Hall is the former home of the College of Engineering’s Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering departments. The building now houses the Office of Disability Services, Testing Services, and the Office of Veteran and Military Affairs. The Office of Disability Services provides academic accommodations for University of Alabama students with disabilities. Testing Services administers both undergraduate and graduate admissions tests, GED, CLEP, and UA Placement exams. The Office of Veteran and Military Affairs is aimed at providing programs and services to meet the needs of service members and their families in order to ease their transition to college life.
Houser Hall is keeping with UA’s trend towards using terrazzo flooring in high traffic areas. The beautiful custom design of the terrazzo can be seen in the first floor. A design element that makes Houser slightly different than some of the other UA buildings is its use of store front style glass walls. This allows natural light to flood the building.
