At a ceremony on December 12, 2012, Benenson Plaza was dedicated as the third phase of the Newcomb-McAlister Unified Green master plan, following McAlister Place and the Gorson Gathering Gardens at the LBC Quad. The beautification project was made possible with a generous donation by the Benenson Family who previously supported the McAlister Place project as well as the Gibson Circle Monument sign and pylon entries.

Dinwiddie Hall Renovation

Architect:

Waggonner & Ball Architects

Contractor:

Citadel Builders

Cost:

$9 Million

Completed:

2010

Completed in August 2010, the renovation of 88 year old Dinwiddie Hall was granted a LEED Gold certification by the USGBC. The Dinwiddie renovation sets a new standard for Tulane's sustainability efforts with its inventory of historical buildings. For a more detailed outline of the sustainable features of the project, please click here [pdf].

The renovation of Dinwiddie is Tulane's first LEED Gold certified construction project. Reusing an existing building--rather than building new--recycling building materials, specifying local and regional materials, building in energy and water efficiency and building commissioning, and maximizing daylighting while preventing solar heat gain are just a few of the "green" features of the renovation project.
