Abroms-Engel Institute for the Visual Arts (AEIVA) at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) is a 26,000-square-foot building, completed in January of 2014. Featuring custom-finished VMZINC QUARTZ-ZINC paneling, the new AEIVA building makes a striking visual statement while seamlessly integrating into its surrounding environment.
“In addition to their visual impact, QUARTZ-ZINC panels are extremely practical. Zinc is highly durable, fully recyclable and easily malleable. The use of zinc allowed Stout to strike a balance between environmental sensitivity and contemporary innovation in AEIVA’s design. Per Stout’s creative vision, the Abrams team applied a unique patina finish, organically produced, and created special for the AEIVA building. This distinctive artistic process will continue to age naturally and beautifully for years to come.” – Design and Build With Metal
