Opened in August 2023 Lake and River Residence Halls, located on McAlister Way between Freret and Willow streets, are the first of five on-campus residences designed to transform the Tulane student experience through an innovative combination of living and learning opportunities.
They are the first installment of The Village, the largest capital investment in Tulane’s history and one that will dramatically increase the capacity and impact of Tulane’s on-campus residential spaces.
The complex features the Small Family Collaboration Hub, a 14,000 square foot space filled with foosball and pool tables, shuffleboard, and a large-screen television, as well as rooms to collaborate on school projects and for departments to host career and academic advising, wellness events, and campus programming.
In addition, Lake Hall has a 200-seat classroom auditorium open to courses throughout the university. The classroom features a large, fixed screen with a projector and sound system that will be conducive to classroom instruction as well as lectures and movies.
