In addition to a full academic program, there are many ongoing programs and events such as the URBANbuild, CITYbuild, and GREENbuild programs of the Tulane City Center, international study programs and opportunities, public lectures, distinguished visiting faculty, exhibitions, symposia, publications and student organizations which support the academic life of the School of Architecture for students, staff and faculty alike. Students and faculty are encouraged to take full advantage of these programs, events and resources to enrich their experience and enhance their educational and professional development opportunities at the School. In addition, students are required to fulfill a service-learning elective before graduating. Under the aegis of the Tulane’s ‘Promise and Distinction,’ community service is now one of the targeted programs at Tulane. As found on the Tulane website, the goals of community service at Tulane are to engage students through reflection and learning and inspire them to respond with creative problem solving, compassionate concern and a strong sense of social and civic responsibility for the long-term health of the community in which they live. We will accomplish these goals in collaboration with our consortium institutions both locally and nationally, and our community partners. The Core Values are: Transformative Community Service: We value community service experiences that positively transform the individual participating in the community service as well as the communities with which we partner. Student Leadership Development: We focus on developing lifelong leaders with a deep commitment to community service and social justice. Social Justice: We seek not only to address immediate issues related to poverty, but to work with root causes of these issues. We recognize and seek to address the inequitable distribution of power as well as resources. Community Leadership: We seek to cultivate and support community leadership through partnerships. None of our programs will be completely dependent upon Tulane University or its students. Our efforts are in line with needs articulated by the community. Civic Engagement: We are committed to providing intentional programming, activities and services that engage our students in being active participants on our campus and in our community. As such, students must take Service Learning courses. The Mission of Service Learning is as follows: The inauguration of the Center for Public Service reflects Tulane University's renewed sense of purpose within a city and region rising from devastation. Recognizing that active, civic engagement builds strong, healthy communities and responsible citizens, the Center for Public Service merges academic inquiry with sustained civic engagement. The Center is a forum for students, faculty, and community partners to work together to address urgent and long-term social challenges and
opportunities. Our approach to learning prepares Tulane University students to participate more fully in today's complex society in intellectually rigorous ways. Tulane University's Center for Public Service supports a university curriculum and research agenda by uniting academics and action, classroom and communities through which students, faculty and community partners dedicate themselves to the transformation of civic life. Much of this requirement has been enfolded into courses taught within the School of Architecture, including, but not limited to, Dr. Carol Reese's History of Architecture course (HSTA 110). As an introductory course, Dr. Reese's students worked with the Preservation Resource Center and other community organizations in order to fulfill their Service Learning requirement. SPECIAL PROGRAMS and RESOURCES Tulane City Center (Downtown Center) The Tulane City Center houses the School of Architecture's urban research and outreach programs. Programs of the City Center vary over time, but share a focus on improving cities through fostering global urban strategies, and the provision of environmentally and culturally informed principles to guide the design and revitalization of the contemporary metropolis. The City Center is currently housed in the School of Architecture but will soon move to a facility in downtown New Orleans. That facility will include studios, classrooms, a lecture space, and offices. All students in the School of Architecture will spend at least one semester of their education directly engaged with programs of the City Center. Currently, those programs include URBANbuild and the Tulane Regional Urban Design Center (TRUDC). The City Center is an affiliate of CITYbuild, a nationwide coalition of university-based programs focused on urban research and design-build. Programs currently under development at the City Center include the Tulane Rapid Response Design Studio, the Tulane Center for Cultural Resource Management, and the Tulane Neighborhood Center. The Mission and Objectives of the Tulane City Center are as follows: “The Tulane City Center aims to coalesce the numerous outreach initiatives and service learning efforts at the Tulane School of Architecture and to provide leadership in establishing a design-driven, socially conscious and environmentally responsible urban agenda for the City of New Orleans. The functioning attitude is inclusive and builds upon the strengths and experiences of the private and public sectors and the greater New Orleans community. Objectives Operating to recreate a city that is more beautiful, functional, sustainable and livable than it was prior to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, the Tulane City Center will render clear and coherent urban design principles. These will be synchronized with productive and cooperative planning efforts to ensure that a well-rounded, constructive forum is provided for practicing professionals, community organizations, design schools, construction industries and the municipal agencies.
