The Barbara Drummond Thorne Academic and Research Facility will be a timeless
and transformative space designed to attract top talent and inspire innovation.
As the new home of Auburn University’s College of Human Sciences, it will unite
students, faculty, and staff under one roof while elevating the visibility of
its academic programs, rich history, community engagement, and student
experiences.
As we build this extraordinary future, we invite alumni, friends, faculty,
staff, and supporters to become a permanent part of it through the Barbara
Drummond Thorne Academic and Research Facility Brick Campaign.
Commemorative bricks will be displayed at the rear entrance of the new facility,
creating a lasting tribute to the individuals, families, mentors, and
organizations who have shaped the College of Human Sciences. Each engraved brick
represents a personal connection to Auburn and a meaningful investment in the
next generation of leaders.
By participating in the brick campaign, you will:
• Leave a permanent legacy on Auburn’s campus
• Honor a loved one, mentor, class year, or organization
• Celebrate your Auburn experience
• Support the continued growth and excellence of the College of Human Sciences
Every brick purchased directly supports the advancement of programs, student experiences, and innovative learning spaces within the new Academic and Research Facility.
