Woods Quad

A historic and serene sculpture garden at the University of Alabama, framed by the university's first post-Civil War buildings.

Sculpture Garden

Dedicated in 2014, featuring a rotating collection by students, alumni, and faculty.

"Flourish" - 8ft camellia flower sculpture

"Goldie 1971" - Iron tribute to the industrial era

Phoenix from the Ashes

Surrounded by Woods, Manly, Garland, and Clark Halls.

Woods Hall was the first to be rebuilt after 1865, constructed using salvaged, burnt bricks from the original campus destroyed during the Civil War.

An Outdoor Classroom

Beyond its role as an open-air art space, the quad serves as a peaceful gathering spot for students and faculty. It functions as a living extension of the College of Arts and Sciences, blending art, history, and natural beauty.

"A unique blend of art, history, and natural beauty for visitors and the university community."
