  • UPTOWN CAMPUS LARGE GROUP WALKING TOUR Hello, and Welcome to Tulane University! This Is an Abridged Tour Script Written Specifically for Large Groups Visiting Campus
    UPTOWN CAMPUS LARGE GROUP WALKING TOUR Hello, and welcome to Tulane University! This is an abridged tour script written specifically for large groups visiting campus. Please begin your tour at Gibson Hall (#1), the location of the Office of Undergraduate Admission. This tour will end at the Lavin-Bernick Center for University Life, or LBC (#29). Throughout your tour, you’ll find building names followed by numbers which correspond to those on our campus map. Enjoy your visit! History and Makeup of Tulane University Tulane was founded in 1834 as the Medical College of Louisiana in an effort to address the recent epidemics of Yellow Fever. In 1884, New Jersey merchant Paul Tulane donated over $1 million to endow a university “for the promotion and encouragement of intellectual, moral and industrial education.” He had made his fortune in New Orleans, and his gift expressed his appreciation for the city. Paul Tulane’s donation established the Tulane Educational Fund, which today has grown to more than $1 billion. Subsequently, the Medical College of Louisiana changed its name to the Tulane University of Louisiana. Tulane University is now comprised of 10 schools, most of which are on the Uptown Campus, with the exception of the School of Medicine, the School of Public Health & Tropical Medicine, and the School of Social Work, which are located downtown at Tulane’s original campus in the New Orleans BioDistrict. Tulane undergraduates – while all members of Newcomb-Tulane Undergraduate College – study across 5 schools: Architecture, Business, Liberal Arts, Public Health, and Science & Engineering. As you walk through campus, you’ll find a mix of both old and new buildings.
