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.

The McAlister Place Project is part of a long-term, campus beautification project that will eventually unite the quads between McAlister Auditorium and Newcomb Hall, transforming them into a beautiful and vibrant pedestrian environment with limited traffic and parking in the areas flanking the green space.
The transformation of McAlister Place is funded through the generosity of a university donor. Work was centered on the closing of McAlister Drive between Freret Street and Drill Road, as the area was changed from a through street and parking area to a beautiful pedestrian landscape that provides a lovely and safer place for walking and cycling through the Tulane campus. Construction began on Monday, May 18 with a major campus drainage improvement project, and is now open to pedestrian traffic.
