A modern and dramatic addition to Tulane University's architecture, the Lavin-Bernick Center establishes a new focal point for campus life. Expansive glass exterior walls create light-filled spaces and contribute to the building's feeling of open, spacious accessibility. Wrap-around balconies offer tranquil views of the Quad, futuristic ceiling fans calmly circulate the air, and water walls murmur in the background. The building's ambiance is designed to foster a feeling of connection and community. Designed in accordance with "open building concepts", the energy-efficient LBC contains 152,000 square feet of space - almost 40% more than the former University Center.
