Birmingham, AL, October 25, 2026 —
The Birmingham Public Library’s Central Library is hosting “Building Memory,” an art exhibition featuring designs by students in Auburn University’s Interior Architecture program. The exhibition is located in the library’s 4th Floor Gallery and will be open through December 31, 2026.
The student designs reimagine the library’s Archives as a Community Memory Lab. The exhibition presents that proposed approach through interior architecture work; further details about the designs or how the proposed space would operate were not provided.
The information available does not specify when the exhibition opened, whether it has scheduled public programs, or whether visitors need to make arrangements to view it. It also does not identify individual student designers, faculty involved, or the number of works on display.
The exhibition’s stated run through the end of 2026 gives the display an extended showing period. No additional information was provided about the library’s Archives, the project’s development, or plans for implementing the designs. The announcement describes the exhibit as a presentation of student work and does not state that the Community Memory Lab concept will be built.
