Tulane School of Architecture introduces new name as its renovated home reopens
Reflecting a decade of evolution in transformative education, research and design, the Tulane University School of Architecture is expanding its name.
The Tulane University School of Architecture and Built Environment, announced today, embodies the school’s growing reputation as a leader in interdisciplinary design education, groundbreaking research and impact beyond the foundation of architecture. The new name announcement comes as the university completed a major reimagining and expansion of the school’s campus home, Richardson Memorial Hall.
“This new designation is driven by the school’s broadening mission and scope, which play a vital role in the unprecedented success and momentum Tulane is experiencing in every aspect of university life, including academic and research excellence, record-breaking admission and the exponential physical growth of both the uptown and downtown campuses,” Tulane President Michael A. Fitts said. “This new identity highlights the role of our students, faculty and staff in improving the human condition by creating the future buildings, streets, landscapes, cities and regions of the world.”
Architecture and Built Environment Dean Iñaki Alday said the name is fitting for a new kind of school and student.
