Feeling lost in the new STEM+Ag Complex? Come find Geosciences and we’ll take you where you want to go! Check out the quick guide below and stop by anytime if you need directions or support. We’ve got you, Auburn Family. ⬇️

Finding your way around the new STEM + Agricultural Sciences Complex? The room numbers can help.

The first digit tells you the floor, the second tells you the building and the last two digits are the room number.

For example, Room 3164 is on the third floor of Building A — Govil Hall.

Keep this guide handy as you get familiar with the complex, and visit aub.ie/findstemag for more information, including an interactive campus map.

Wrapping up a great first day of class with Auburn University Geosciences Department and Auburn University College of Sciences and Mathematics.

Thanks to everyone who grabbed a quick donut on the way to class — we loved meeting you, sharing directions, and building excitement for the STEM+Ag Complex.

Here’s to an awesome semester, Auburn Family. War Eagle! 🦅

And yes… Stan the Dino is still hungry. Keep an eye out for another pop‑event with popsicles…coming soon. You never know where Stan might show up on campus with free Geo knowledge and treats. 🌞🦖🧤

Today’s fall department retreat showcased the strength and innovation of our Auburn University Geosciences Department faculty and staff. The energy, bold ideas, and collaborative spirit made it clear our best days are ahead of us.

Our time at the Kreher Nature Preserve gave us space to walk, talk, connect, and think deeply as a team about the year ahead, all while surrounded by the beauty of our naturwal world. With our move to the new STEM+Ag Complex, our momentum is unmistakable.

We’re ready for fall semester and excited to welcome our students back on Monday.
