Construction of the Brown-Kopel Center was made possible thanks to a $30 million gift from John and Rosemary Brown, which was announced as part of an overall $57 million gift \u2014 the largest in university history \u2014 in April 2015 at the Because This is Auburn<\/em> campaign kickoff event. Site preparation for the project began in December 2016 with the demolition of the Engineering Shops and L Building. This project completes the third phase of more than $85 million in new construction and renovations for the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the Browns\u2019 gift, more than 50 other alumni have donated $17 million toward the project. These gifts supplemented cost of construction, with the remaining funds dedicated toward endowing programming in the facility. Spaces within the facility were named in honor of donors who supported the project, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
