Setting
Since 1894, Tulane’s campus has been located in our current location in Uptown New Orleans, on historic St. Charles Avenue, across the street from the beautiful Audubon Park. Since then, our campus has grown to occupy 110 acres stretching 1.5 miles from the beginning of campus on St. Charles Avenue to the end on South Claiborne Avenue. Mature Live Oaks, Crape Myrtles, and Bald Cypress trees line our campus providing beauty and a subtle reminder that our campus was once marshland before its development over 100 years ago.
School Philosophy
We educate and empower a new generation of architects and visionaries, dedicated to designing the buildings, places and institutions that create vibrant, vital and sustainable cities. We equip our students with the agency to approach the design process with confidence and urgency.
