The Birmingham-Southern College Admission Welcome Center is a 9,800 square-foot building constructed in 2007 near the Bruno Drive entrance to Birmingham-Southern College to serve as a "front door" for visitors and prospective students visiting the campus.

The building features a lounge and reception area with a kitchen, interview rooms, meeting rooms, a covered porch, a screening room, and work space for the Admissions Office staff. Scheduled visitors are welcomed with a reserved parking space and enter through a manicured knot garden planted with herbs and aromatics. Trustees Billy Hulsey and James T. Stephens led a private fund-raising campaign for the $3.4 million facility. The center was designed by Bobby McAlpine of McAlpine Tankersley Architecture Inc. with landscape design by Nimrod Long & Associates. JohnsonKreis Construction was the general contractor.
