New Aubie statue to be featured in front of Auburn University student center

The Auburn University Board of Trustees approved last week a proposal to enhance the front entrance of the Harold D. Melton Student Center with more open space and a permanent figure of the school’s mascot Aubie.

Hall of Famer

The first inductee into the Class of 2006 Mascot Hall of Fame and 10- time national champion, the Aubie figure is just one of the elements Board approved for the entrance.

Additional amenities include:

• Outdoor study area
• Gathering area
• Greenspaces

The permanent figure of Auburn’s beloved mascot will be completely funded by donations.

Location

According to the university, it will be located approximately 73 feet from the front entrance of the Melton Student Center, or at the southeast corner of the center, adjacent to the campus green. 

Additional details about the outdoor improvements are to be determined at a later date.
