The Spencer Honors House is the home of the UAB honors program located at 1190 10th Avenue South as part of the UAB campus. Completed in 1901 as a church, this 9,231 square-foot structure completed its most recent renovation in 2001. Originally simply the Honors House, it was renamed in summer 2002 in honor of William M. and Virginia B. Spencer, as they donated $2 million towards the renovation costs.

Originally housing both UAB's art history department as well as its honors program, this is now the exclusive home of the honors program. The 2001 renovation included dividing the former church sanctuary into a large lecture hall, a seminar room, and several smaller study rooms.
