It is home to the UAB Department of Nutrition Sciences, which is primarily administered by the UAB School of Health Professions. It was built in 1983 after a donation of $1,000,000 by Mr. Charles B. Webb, Jr., a Birmingham philanthropist, honoring the memory of his late wife, Susan Mott Webb.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held on June 3, 1982 for the building and on October 18, 1983 it was officially dedicated.
