The property where University Mall now stands was previously home to the ruins of

Hooper. The ruins of the hospital had lain derilict for many years and included a few dozen buildings as well as two immensely tall brick smoke-stacks. A few of the old buildings remained until the late 1990s and housed the Tuscaloosa City Board of Education offices until they relocated to the old Tuscaloosa High School (and later Tuscaloosa Middle School) building on Queen City Avenue.
