Tulane University rethinks development project
Tulane University in New Orleans has put the brakes on its controversial plan to build a $150 million mini-campus at the former Uptown Square shopping center. The development, including a 12-story, 202-unit apartment complex for students, would have been completed this year but for Hurricane Katrina. Instead, major portions of the long-proposed project, which called for nearly 430,000 square feet of parking garages, residences and other university facilities, could be redesigned, delayed for years or scrapped.
