All classes are suspended for the week of March 16. Starting the week of March 23, all classes will resume entirely online. Tulane School of Architecture (TuSA) remains open with most faculty and staff working remotely. Students can be granted access to work in the building only with prior approval from the school. At this time, we are not hosting admissions tours.

Please continue to check your Tulane email, Canvas, the TuSA COVID-19 FAQ, and the Tulane Emergency Management page for updates.

Tulane is working with students who have difficult personal circumstances that would make leaving campus a challenge or will face complications in online learning once they return home. In response, we have set up the Tulane Student Emergency Aid and Assistance Fund to address current student needs.

Work of MPS Faculty Michael Shoriak, Courtney Williams, and Robby Cangelosi Featured in The Advocate

Courtney Williams and Michael Shoriak of Cypress Building Conservation and Robby Cangelosi of Koch and Wilson Architects have been working on a major HVAC retrofit for the Hermann-Grima House, one of News Orleans most significant house museums. The project carefully studied the best approach to sensitively install new equipment in the historic structure with minimal destruction to provide optimal performance balancing preservation of the museum collections and human comfort. It is hoped that the results will serve as a model for other museums.

Studio I: Building Preservation concentrates on documenting, analyzing and planning for the preservation of historic buildings as a basis for understanding the technical, theoretical and procedural aspects of architectural preservation practice.  The course includes intensive study of selected historic buildings and environments in the New Orleans area and greater Gulf Coast region. The studio will explore the differences between building stabilization, adaptive reuse, rehabilitation and restoration.
