Auburn last hosted the event in 2006.

In order to come up with a way-finding solution, Dean of Students Johnny Green sought help from within the university, more specifically the Department of Industrial Design. "We have so much talent here that it just made so much sense for us to tap into that ability," Green said. Green asked Jerrod Windham, assistant professor in the Department of Industrial Design, and two of his graduate students, Zack Gray and Lauren Weigel, to create a signage system for the building.
