Tulane School of Architecture's COVID-19 FAQs
Tulane School of Architecture continues to adapt our educational and administrative operations to address COVID-19. We have continued to invest in technology to support remote and hybrid teaching, as well as training for our faculty in evidence-based teaching methods. Tulane University's leadership in responding to COVID-19 has continued to be a model for return-to-campus operations that protect both the university community and city residents.
Will classes be held on campus?
Tulane University will resume in-person classes starting August 19 and is condensing the Spring 2021 semester. The health and safety of our students, staff, and faculty is of utmost importance. Please visit the Tulane University Return to Campus website for important new guidelines, including Public Health Strategies that we will all implement, such as wearing face coverings, testing and contact tracing, daily symptoms checking and physical distancing. Additionally, classrooms have been retrofitted to maintain physical distance between students and for the technology to function more flexibly as many courses, seminars and studios will need to meet different needs, such as being presented to students both remotely and through in-person modes. New exterior classrooms have been built and other exterior spaces are prepared to serve as safe education resources. Your faculty instructor will provide specific expectations for their courses. The Tulane School of Architecture faculty listing is here: https://architecture.tulane.edu/about/faculty
Outside of classes, the Tulane School of Architecture faculty and staff will be working partially remotely and partially in-person to de-densify the building. Faculty and staff are available via the email and phone numbers listed on our website. General questions about school operations can sent to architecture@tulane.edu.
