Auburn University Facilities Management

Construction for the East Thach Residence Hall has begun!

The six-story, 170,000-square-foot building, located at East Thach and South Gay, will provide 680 new beds for on-campus student living right behind the Rane Culinary Arts Center, providing a safe and convenient setting for students near the heart of campus.

We've got a few days worth of construction loaded up and ready to go. Check it out!

Facilities' Landscape Services recently pruned and trimmed the Samford Park descendants of the original Toomer's Corner oaks.

The descendants were planted in Samford Park in 2016 as 15-foot oak trees, grown from acorns collected from the original oaks in 2002.

The now 24-year-old trees are under the purview of University Arborist Alex Hedgepath, arborist and field supervisor Dalton Sconyers, and arbor specialists Andy Mora and Wesley Farrow. Thank you, gentlemen!

STEM + Ag and New University Student Housing are almost finished, and Facilities Management is moving through 2026 with even more projects to come. Let's see what else is happening in the June Construction Update!

The Melton Student Center Patio Renovation project completely transformed more than 21,000 square feet of the outside area of the center for the first time since it was constructed in 2008.

This newly renovated space offers outdoor study areas, room for small events and comfortable lounge spaces, providing plenty of new areas for both academic and social activities and creating a new central area for students to come together on campus.

So let's go check out what's new at AU!
