7-11 Building

The 7-11 Building, originally the Birmingham Builders Exchange Building, was a one-story, 5,416 square-foot office building at 711 11th Street South on what is now the UAB Campus.

The Birmingham Builders Exchange relocated to the new building from the Farley Building before 1952.

UAB acquired it, along with the adjoining Dowdy Building, in 1971. It served as the administrative offices for UAB Blazers athletics, housing the office of athletics director Gene Bartow.

The Dowdy and 7-11 Buildings were demolished in August 2019.
