AIA 2021 New Orleans Awards

A design-build project from the Tulane School of Architecture - along with many other alumni and faculty - were honored at the New Orleans chapter of the American Institute of Architects 2021 Design Awards Program. 

In total, 12 different awards had Tulane School of Architecture affiliations. Gander Point, led by the faculty, staff and students of the Albert and Tina Small Center for Collaborative Design in Fall 2017, received the Honor Award for Small Scale Design. The Small Center project team worked closely with City Park staff and leadership to design and build a new gathering area where all park users can enjoy the natural waterfront setting.
