The center is named in honor of Tony and Libba Rane. Tony, the son of Italian immigrants, built his career from scratch and later became the owner of a variety of thriving hotels, retail stores, and restaurants, all with the influence and support of his loving wife, Libba. The center bears its name in honor of the couple’s “entrepreneurial spirit and fierce love of family, country and cooking.”The Tony and Libba Rane Culinary Science Center houses the Laurel Hotel & Spa, a world-class hotel featuring a stunning view of iconic Samford Hall. The amenities include 16 luxurious rooms, 10 suites, 6 residences, a spa, fitness studio, rooftop pool, and yoga pavilion. In addition, guests can enjoy a delicious meal at the 1856 - Culinary Residence restaurant and even have the chance to dine with a beautiful view of Samford Hall at the Rooftop of the Laurel Hotel & Spa. Because the center is an educational facility, it also houses a learning food and beverage media studio, a coffee roastery and bar, a brewing science lab, and a wine appreciation center. While these spaces serve as educational resources for students, guests are welcome to spectate and enjoy everything these learning spaces have to offer. The center is the brainchild of Dr. O’Neill and Hans van der Reijden, managing director of The Hotel at Auburn University and Dixon Conference Center. The two began formulating the idea over a decade ago. “Most international programs are known for their facilities, but we haven’t really had that until now,” said Dr. O’Neill. “We’ve done a brilliant job preparing people for their careers, but we’ve been behind on that.”
