History and Locations
Until 1995, some patients lived in the original building known as Bryce Hospital. This building still exists however, it and the surrounding campus are now owned by the University of Alabama. There were several more modern buildings on the Bryce campus located next to, and behind the original building where patients stayed from the mid-1980s and up until all patients were moved to the current facility in 2014. The original Bryce Hospital (below left) and later-used modern Admissions building (below right) can be seen on the University of Alabama campus: Kilgore Lane Tuscaloosa 35401.
