The James B. McMillan Building is home to the University of Alabama Press and also houses the National Alumni Association's Crimson Calling Center, the Psychology Clinic and The Center for the Prevention of Youth Behavior Problems. James B. McMillan was the founding director of The University of Alabama Press, which is the University's primary scholarly publishing arm including acquisitions, editorial, production, and marketing functions of a full-service publishing house. Publishing projects are selected that support, extend, and preserve academic research. The press also publishes books that foster an understanding of the history and culture of the state and region.
Located within McMillan, the Psychology Clinic is a mental health and training clinic for Doctoral Level Clinical Psychology Trainees from the UA Psychology Department. The Psychology Clinic provides psychological treatment and evaluations for people of most ages from the general public and the University of Alabama community. Also located within the building on the first floor is The Center for the Prevention of Youth Behavior Problems, an innovative research facility within the University of Alabama that brings together a group of highly experienced researchers along with other emerging researchers to be a national leader in research and policy in the prevention of youth violence and antisocial behavior. The current building is the second structure to be named the McMillan Building. The first, which was also the home of the University Press, was built in 1939 and used to be the Fort Brandon Armory. (Which played host to a number of bands including the Allman Brothers.) The University gained control over that building in 1980, but it was demolished to make way for a new fire station, and the University Press moved into the current McMillan Building.
