RunInRed 16,620 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Auburn's new Football Performance Facility is now open for bid. It has been designed by the architectural team of Goodwyn, Mills, and Cawood of Montgomery with support from HOK Architects of Kansas City, Mo. The $60M+, 2-story, 165,000 SF, facility will be built near the corner of Biggio Drive and Samford Avenue, where the old outdoor track is located on campus. Based on the drawings, key features of the football-only facility will include 2 outdoor fields, an indoor practice field, weight room, team meeting room, position rooms, war rooms, circular locker room, all staff meeting room, offensive/defense staff meeting rooms, offensive and defensive bullpens, coaches offices, hydrotherapy/plunge pools, fuel bars, barber shop, flight simulator, recording studios, helmet studio, innovation labs and more. There's also dedicated spaces for compliance, video/production and nutrition. As of last public report (November, 2020-ish) over the half the funds have been raised through private donations. Regardless, all indications are efforts are full speed-ahead. With a 2-year build, the Football Performance Center could be ready as soon as the 2023 season.

cptau 169 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Seems like they just built new football facilities, but that was 10 years ago or so and if don't build some new you don't recruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBlueWDE 1,136 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Brian Harsin already having an impact! We appear to be giving out Subaru Outbacks or Foresters rather than Dodge Chargers and Challengers like Bama Definitely some PNW flair on that dealership agreement!

Glad we finally get one, but the other items were something I didn't see in others. I'm actually impressed with our facility. Great design.
