It doesn't take much research into the University of Alabama at Birmingham to realise it's a very impressive research university:

• UAB is ranked among the top 100 universities in United States and among the top 200 universities in the world, according to the 2009 Academic Ranking of World Universities.
• UAB has an estimated $3 Billion annual impact in the state of Alabama. It's the state's largest employer with more than 18,000 faculty and staff and over 53,000 jobs at the university and in the health system.
• UAB covers 83 blocks in the heart of Alabama's largest city Birmingham.
• UAB runs Joomla for their main website http://UAB.edu (thought I'd leave the best for last!)

Several other of the university's subsites also run Joomla including:

• School of Nursing: http://www.uab.edu/nursing
• Vision Science Research Center: http://www.uab.edu/vsrc/
