How often do you think about the people who came before you? Mussafer Hall on Tulane University’s historic Gibson Quad is a reminder of the past. The building itself is a testament to the university’s rich history, dating back to 1902 when it was built as the first dormitory. Mussafer Hall was originally called Richardson Dormitory. It was designed by Andry and Bendernagel and built by Toledano and Wogan Contractors. Mussafer Hall was modeled after the Houston Hall at the University of Pennsylvania. It was later used as the Social Sciences Building, housing both Arts and Sciences classrooms. The building was also home to the School of Social Work until August 2014 when it vacated to relocate to 127 Elk Place. After its renovation, Mussafer Hall now houses the Academic Advising Center, Career Services, and the Success Center. The modern-day addition, designed by studioWTA, stands in stark contrast to the original Dutch Renaissance-style structure. Its cantilever volumes clad in stucco, limestone, and glass are a modern interpretation of the traditional New Orleans architecture. This striking contrast creates a unique juxtaposition between the past and the present, offering a glimpse into the ever-evolving landscape of Tulane University. The expansion was created with the goal of being sensitive to the environment and earning LEED Gold certification. It is a testament to the university’s commitment to sustainability and preserving its historic roots as it moves forward into the future.
