About GMC Birmingham

Known as the “Magic City”, Birmingham is full of progress and opportunity.

In 2020, GMC helped restore the old Hinkle Brothers Building where our office now resides. The revitalized space features a modern and industrial feel with some of the original 100-year-old building material exposed to maintain its historic roots.

You’ll find our office in the heart of downtown, a vibrant area that’s growing and evolving with world class restaurants, lively entertainment venues and charming retail shops.

Consistently ranked among the BBJs lists of top architecture and engineering firms, GMC is proud to contribute to the city’s progress and to be a part of major local projects like the iconic Rotary Trail and Protective Stadium, now some of the most recognizable places in the Magic City.

GMC's local team is heavily involved in the community with groups such as the Exceptional Foundation, United Ability, the Bell Center, Central Alabama Community Food Bank and many more.
