With finals in the rear-view mirror and graduation tomorrow, I thought it might be nice to take a break from all the hustle and bustle and pay a visit to another hidden spot on campus: our newest residence hall, Barbara Greenbaum House. Want to check out some other hidden spots that you won't see on a campus tour here at Tulane? Scroll to the bottom of this post to check out the other places we've been to over the years.
And now, on to Tulane's brand new residence hall, Greenbaum House. Greenbaum just celebrated its first year as a residence hall for our students, and the feedback from students living in this LEED-Silver certified building has been great. Affectionately known as Boot Dorm due to its vicinity to the popular off-campus watering hole, Greenbaum has quickly grown into one of the most popular places for students, freshmen all the way up to seniors, to live. We brought our camera crew to do yet another MTV Cribs-style dorm tour this week, so you can get the full skinny here. Looking for tours of the other freshman halls? We've got you covered.
Greenbaum houses over 250 students throughout six stories. And let me tell you, this place has it all! From a gourmet demonstration kitchen to the 35-seat James MacLaren classroom, this is truly a forward-thinking residence hall that was designed to be all-encompassing to students' social and academic needs. Greenbaum, like its fellow Living Learning Community at Wall Residential College, has a professor-in-residence who lives in an apartment within the hall. Study and social lounges are present on nearly every floor, and the whole community is tied together by a beautifully landscaped internal courtyard.
The Get Engaged Living Learning Community is housed in Greenbaum and caters to students who are interested in integrating their experiences on campus with the greater New Orleans community. Throughout the year, participants live together on a designated floor in the building and work with each other, their RAs, and their Faculty-in-Residence to move beyond the residence hall and Tulane's public service requirements to create opportunities that shape their identities as Tulane students and NOLA residents. Programs and initiatives include guest speakers, cooking demonstrations, community discussions, and volunteering with local and national community partners.
Pretty neat, huh? Check out more photos below!
Oh yeah, and in case you wanted to see previous Hidden Tulanes:
