|
Grantee: Tulane University
Grant Amount: $299,128
Tulane University School of Architecture (TUSA) will use its Universities Rebuilding American Partnerships (URAP) - Community Design grant to develop the Tulane URBANbuild Program, an outreach community design and construction program, as a center for post-Katrina reconstruction efforts in the greater New Orleans area. URBANbuild will be located in the downtown Tulane City Center. TUSA will provide a wealth of local knowledge, urban research, analysis capacity, architectural programming, design and technical expertise, to implement an effective community response. They will also take a leadership role in consolidating Tulane's academic programs with the resources and efforts of community organizations, as well as, local, regional and national governmental authorities to implement the city's rehabilitation and reconstruction. TUSA will be collaborating with Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. (NHS) of New Orleans, Public Architecture of San Francisco, and the Tulane Center for Bioenvironmental Research (TCBR).

Saw it on WWL. They left Tulane out of the news, though. Wonder why. _________________ Clay Kirby
