Giattina Aycock Architecture Studio On The Boards Projects
17TH STREET
The City of Birmingham is actively planning a 32-acre public park on Railroad Reservation property at its urban center. Four blocks south of the planned park, Giattina Aycock Architecture Studio is planning a replacement facility for Children’s Health System’s main hospital, alongside a Women’s and Infants’ Facility planned by University of Alabama Birmingham. Planners from the City, UAB, CHS and GA Studio conducted a charrette to create a master plan for the redevelopment of 17th Street as a pedestrian-friendly link between these major destinations. As part of the master plan, GA Studio is designing the southern terminus of 17th Street, which will become the entry court for Children’s Hospital’s replacement facility.
