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 on a patio outside a prominent gallery located on the first floor. These bricks will create 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 experience
• Support the continued growth and excellence of the College of Human Sciences

Every brick purchased directly supports construction of the Barbara Drummond Thorne Academic and Research Facility.
