Project Overview: The Tony and Libba Rane Culinary Science Center is a first-of-its-kind project for Auburn University in that it combines a major academic component with revenue generating elements to help defray the cost of the building, including six living units that would be leased to third parties at fair market value. The entire project is in support of the College of Human Sciences' Hospitality Management program, and its Culinary Science, Event Management, and Hotel and Restaurant Management academic options. The project combines academic instructional and laboratory space, as well as operational food venues and hotel spaces in which students will obtain experiential training.
