B.B. Comer Hall, named for Braxton Bragg Comer and built around the same time as Smith Hall (1907-1910), was the first home of the College of Engineering and was known simply as Comer Hall.
The Capstone International Center is located on the first floor. The Center includes and is comprised of the office of the Associate Provost for International Education and Global Outreach, the English Language Institute (ELI), Education Abroad/Study Abroad, International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS), a Peace Corps Recruiter, and advisors for the Fulbright Program and UA’s Global Studies Certificate. Also on the first floor are several classrooms, vending machines, the ELI study center, and space to host the ISSS Coffee Hour.
Undergraduate International Admissions is located in the north end basement of B.B. Comer.
In 1936, the College of Engineering left Comer and moved to Hardaway Hall. In 1961, the building was remodeled. In 2010-11 the exterior of the building was restored.
Originally, the south wing contained the physics and electrical engineering departments on the first floor and above were the engineering library, dean's office, and classrooms.
The center part of the building also held the university's power plant which included a boiler, dynamo, heating and plumbing machinery, and coal apparatus.
