The AIME Renovations for AMP Battery Research Center (AMP BRC) project at The University of Alabama involves the renovation of approximately 6,000 square feet within the Alabama Innovation & Mentoring of Entrepreneurs Building (“AIME”), located at 720 2nd Street. This project will create a state-of-the-art facility featuring a new pilot line laboratory for pouch. prismatic, and cylindrical cell production. Also, the renovated space will include dedicated areas for materials and chemical receiving, and office and storage spaces to support research activities. The project also encompasses the acquisition of advanced, multi-scale, multi-disciplinary equipment designed for next-generation battery research and education. This facility will significantly enhance the university’s capabilities in battery technology, fostering innovation and providing unparalleled educational opportunities for students and researchers.

The project will include an additional 1,500 gsf of mechanical mezzanine through the infill of high bay space, which will not impact the exterior visual appearance.
