AIA Louisiana Awards Tulane School of Architecture Expansion with 2025 Honor Award
The AIA Louisiana Honor Awards program recognizes outstanding architectural achievements by AIA Louisiana members. TPA is a proud recipient of the 2025 State Honor Award for the Tulane Richardson Memorial Hall renovation and expansion project, one of two projects statewide to receive such recognition.
“Well-considered and beautiful expansion of / addition to a school of design, one that reveals architectural aspects of both the original building and the addition's relationship to it. A nice teaching tool as well as a terrific new design statement on campus!”
“An elegant dialogue between new and existing.”
“The addition acknowledges the classical building’s order, extending its language through its proportions, alignment of lines, and material palette that keeps the historic fabric intact while making space for a contemporary design to be expressed.
”
“This design team masterfully embraced the complexity of revitalizing a historic building while integrating the dynamic needs of a cutting-edge university facility. Throughout the process, they remained true to a clear and compelling design vision.”
“The result is a striking interplay between old and new—where every space reflects thoughtful contrast and cohesion. The original structure has been reimagined with a fresh identity that honors its past while introducing innovative elements that speak to contemporary use and design excellence.”
