Current Occupants

The main occupant of the property is the Tulane University School of Medicine. The school has secured the leases to several of the upper floors, and is expected to occupy the majority of these in the coming years. Following Hurricane Katrina, the school has sublet several of these floors to businesses displaced by the storm. On August 26th, 2007, a sign saying "Tulane University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine" was installed over the front entrance way.

Currently, the school has fully occupied the 10th and 22nd floors, which house the School's Administration and Standardized Patient facilities, respectively. As of September 2007, work on the ground floor auditorium is still underway and is expected to be completed in October 2007.
