Weatherhead Residence Hall, named in tribute to the late Albert J. Weatherhead III and his wife, Celia, an esteemed Newcomb graduate and member of the Board of Tulane, stands as one of Tulane's premier returning student communities.
Offering suite-style double and single rooms, Weatherhead provides comfortable and modern accommodations for its residents. Suites can be made up of two double rooms, two single rooms, or a double and a single sharing one bathroom.
Additionally, Weatherhead is distinguished by its Faculty in Residence program, where a faculty member and their family reside within the community, fostering intellectual and social engagement among residents.
Designed by the renowned architecture firm Hanbury Evans Wright Vlattas + Co in association with John C. Williams Architects, Weatherhead Hall opened its doors in August 2011. Its architectural excellence was recognized in 2012 when it received a merit award for architecture from the American Institute of Architects, New Orleans chapter, as well as the Best Architecture/Design Innovator award from Student Housing Business magazine.
