Flower power
When it debuts in 2012, the Donna and Paul Flower Hall for Research and Innovation will be a center for scientific progress at Tulane.
Science and engineering dean Nicholas Altiero stood before a crowd of Tulane alumni and supporters to celebrate the groundbreaking of Donna and Paul Flower Hall for Research and Innovation.
"This modern, laboratory-rich facility will be a major factor in attracting more world-class scholars to Tulane and in impacting the region's economy through breakthrough scientific and technological innovations," said Altiero.
When it debuts in fall 2012, the new $7.4 million Flower Hall will be a catalyst for Tulane's emergence as a science and engineering powerhouse, attracting scholars, expanding research and satisfying the region’s demand for innovative problem-solvers.
The four-story, 24,000-square-foot building will house 15 research laboratories and offices for faculty and graduate and undergraduate students.
Flower Hall will drive scientific progress at Tulane, says benefactor Paul Flower, who received a master's degree in engineering from Tulane in 1975. |
