Campus Life
Opportunities to Develop Lifelong Interests, Friendships and Wellness
Walking around the Auburn campus is a vibrant experience; there is much to see and do outside the classroom, in a lovely campus environment.
New Student Center
Opened in 2008, the new Student Center at Auburn brings together students for food, fun, atmosphere, information, coffee and more. Housing the university’s Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs, the center features restaurants, open seating, desks, services and other lounge areas located throughout the building.
Campus Recreation
Auburn’s Campus Recreation provides opportunities to participate in recreation and fitness activities that help to develop leadership, decision-making skills, and healthy lifelong habits. Students can use recreational facilities, join a club sport, compete on an intramural team or have a fitness or nutritional assessment with wellness and fitness experts.
In 2011, the 360,000-square-foot Auburn Recreation and Wellness Center is scheduled for completion. Constructed to comply with LEED/green standards, the facility will house a rock climbing wall, an indoor soccer court, an outdoor fitness trail, sand volleyball and golf simulator rooms.
Already operating under a master plan designed to make Auburn a pedestrian campus, the off-road walking and bike path along Donahue Drive south of Samford Avenue is the latest addition to Auburn’s bicycle-friendly community.
The Davis Arboretum provides visitors with a setting for reflection, relaxation and walking, while also providing an area to promote conservation, education and research on ecosystem preservation and diversity. The Arboretum shows plants growing in the special habitats that exist in the state of Alabama, such as rocky hillsides, stream bottoms, pond edges, salt spray influenced sand dunes, pitcher plant bogs and the alkaline soil of the Black Belt Prairie.
Campus Dining
Auburn Dining Services has 16 dining venues across campus with seven unique concepts located within the new Student Center. Westview Commons is close to The Village. Please go to www.auburn.edu/dining for information on required and optional dining plans and to also check out dining venues on campus.
