Auburn’s Board of Trustees approved the $9 million renovations to Neville Arena back in February of this year.

The renovations to 22,500 square feet within Neville Arena will enhance the existing practice gym. The goal is to enlarge team meeting and office spaces within the basketball program suites.

In February of 2022, the BOT approved the initiation of building an additional basketball practice gym at Neville Arena. According to the meeting’s materials, the architect selection process was approved in April of that year.

The renovation that was approved in February won’t be the same as what was approved in 2022. Contruction for the enhancements of Neville’s team facilities and scholarship lobby began last month and is expected to be completed by November.

“The combined efforts of these renovation investments yield enhanced spaces for each one of our sports teams, so volleyball, women’s and men’s basketball,” Auburn Vice President of Facilities Management Jim Carroll said. “The athletics director and coaches of all three teams are very supportive of and excited for these changes to the team spaces, as this change solves the original scope challenges while offering a significant savings to the university.”
