About Facilities
Richardson Memorial Hall, in the center of the Uptown Campus of Tulane University, houses the entire faculty and administration of the School of Architecture. There are generous design studio spaces, large lecture rooms, seminar and other classroom spaces located throughout the five story, venerable, Richardson Memorial. Herndon Thomson Hall, a large multi-purpose space on the second floor of Richardson Memorial, is the venue for large public lectures, various exhibitions, community events, and innumerable design reviews. A café, computer lab, digital output room, publications office, all architecture faculty offices, and a shop facility are located on the ground floor of the building. Other components of the School’s research and outreach efforts are located in Richardson Memorial as well - including the Tulane City Center, the URBANbuild program, the CIYYbuild program, the editorial offices of AULA, and the Tulane Regional Urban Design Center. Keeping the wide ranging activities of the School under a single large roof facilitates lively interaction between the students, faculty, staff and the many visitors to our program.
