The home of Auburn football is undergoing some renovations.
With a new $31.4 million, 44,000-square-foot facility at the southwest corner of Jordan-Hare Stadium, Auburn will be provided with a new locker room, press box, club seating area and a recruiting area that is decorated by defining moments and relics of Auburn football.
Though the corner of Heisman Drive and Donahue Drive will be redefined, the Auburn Board of Trustees also approved plans for a video board for the south end zone that will be half the size of its northern counterpart that was installed in 2015.
It is expected for both renovation projects to be complete prior to the 2018 season.
“It will be the best of the best,” former Athletic Director Jay Jacobs said in a school release. “It will be the gold standard in college athletics recruiting.”
In addition to the corner’s developments, the home locker room will undergo a 16,000-foot renovation.
“It will be a phenomenal facility, not only on Saturday, but will be able to be used throughout the year for a host of different banquets and events,” Jacobs said. “It’s going to add so much to our gameday experience and also to the exterior of our stadium.”
