About the Tulane School of Architecture and Built Environment and Tulane University

The Tulane University School of Architecture and Built Environment provides global leadership through excellence in design, research, and practice in the built environment. The School includes undergraduate and graduate Architecture programs and several other allied programs and degree paths. Faculty members teach coursework and collaborate as appropriate to their expertise across the School's programs including Architecture (B.Arch, BSA, M.Arch and M.S.ARC), Landscape Architecture and Engineering (MLA-MS RCSE), Real Estate Development (BSRE, MSRED), Historic Preservation (Undergraduate Minor, Graduate Certificate, MSHP), Design (BADes), Sustainable Urbanism (BS SURB), Social Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship (Undergraduate Minor), and Climate Change:
Science and Practice (Undergraduate Minor). Other schools, programs, and centers at the University provide ample opportunities for interdisciplinary research and collaboration.

The School is recognized for robust initiatives in community-engaged design (The Albert and Tina Small Center for Collaborative Design), design-build (URBANbuild), interdisciplinary research studios, and research initiatives supported by the Center on Climate Change and Urbanism. Over the past five years, the School has experienced significant growth across all its programs, and in spring 2025, the School returned to its newly renovated home, Richardson Memorial Hall, complete with new studios, fabrication shops, classrooms, exhibition space, and offices.

Located in New Orleans, Tulane University is a tier-one research university in the United States and a member of the selected group of top research universities integrated in the Association of American Universities (AAU). Tulane School of Architecture and Built Environment is an innovator at multiple scales, from materials to buildings to neighborhoods and from urban landscapes to regional planning.

The City of New Orleans and the Mississippi Delta are our natural domains of research, with the social and ecological challenges of this complex region at the forefront of contemporary discourses in global rural and urbanized territories, cities, and towns. The city's culture and community is steeped in a long history of action and exchange. The University has firm commitments to build a welcoming community and foster opportunities, goals which the School pursues in multiple ways through curriculum, research, and practice.

We are dedicated to serving society and to climate action, charting a path for climate change education across each of our representative programs, and recognizing that social equity and climate are interconnected phenomena that demand new approaches to the built and unbuilt environments.
