Tulane announces major milestone in planned transformation of former Charity Hospital building
Tulane plans to utilize a significant majority of the one-million-square-foot structure, marking a major expansion of the university’s downtown campus in the heart of the city’s growing biomedical district. The building will become the new home for Tulane’s Celia Scott Weatherhead School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and the Tulane University Innovation Institute. Parts of the Tulane School of Medicine will also occupy the redeveloped structure, which will include state-of-the-art classrooms, community spaces and interdisciplinary labs for approximately 700 new researchers. Plans call for the remaining sections of the building to be used for a mix of residential living, a food hall, community gathering space and other retail purposes.
