The project, which does not have a listed budget, is expected to enhance the gameday experience for suite holders in the "third and fourth level East suites" of Jordan-Hare Stadium, according to documents.

"The first phase of the project will provide new operable windows and fans to allow better access to the sounds and general atmosphere of the game and ... the second phase of the project will provide routine renovations, to include upgrades to the finishes and standard HVAC system improvement," according to proposal documents.

The first phase would begin after the upcoming football season with the goal of being completed prior to the 2019 football season, which Auburn opens against Oregon in Arlington, Texas before coming home to face Tulane on Sept. 7, 2019.

Stacy Norman Architects of Auburn is the proposed firm to be selected as the project architect due to its experience with similar suite renovation projects at Jordan-Hare Stadium in 2017.

Though there is not a listed cost for the project in proposal documents, it is expected to be financed by "a combination of gift and athletics department funds."
