Woodward has a long history on the campus of Tulane University. In recent years, Woodward has built the the Environmental Science Building, Turchin Stadium, and the new SoHo Sophmore Honors Village. In addition, Woodward performed the hurricane restoration of the campus following the damage and flooding of Hurricane Katrina. Based on this history and Paul as a graduate of Tulane himself, the time was right to do even more. Replacing the outdated Dr. Francis M. Taylor Laboratory building, Flower Hall features the new design and construction of a 4 story, 60,000 square foot educational facility. Featuring space for the Taylor lab along with classroom and research space, this facility is already serving as a key component in Tulane attracting top notch faculty to the school.
“You’re getting all these great faculty members and all these great students—you’ve got to have a 21st-century facility,” Altiero said. “We’re building an environment in which these faculty members and these students we’re attracting to Tulane can be successful.”
Dean Nicholas Altiero, Tulane University
