Extremely beneficial to a medical school.

Seems like the 10th plan to invest in this property and it dies out after a few weeks.
The old navy building looking pretty good these days.

This is the first announcement with any legs that I can recall. Always been rumors, but nothing concrete like today’s announcement.

10 years from now the plan for putting the team together will be approved.
This is a fantasy.

Hopefully this happens. That building is like a festering turd in the middle of downtown. They also need to repurpose the old VA building and the old Charity School of Nursing buildings. Too many homeless hanging around those buildings.

$700 million might get it gutted lol. This will be $2 billion+ plus by the time it's done.

At least 2 years in the making. First company that was supposed to partner with Tulane fell through.

Jindal should’ve never let that building go so long

I think charity hospitals are a great idea and should make a comeback, but I'd never want to use one.

You got a blue plastic card with your name on it and the card had either a ‘T’ or an ‘L’ on it - which meant you either saw Tulane medical students or LSU medical students

I assume one begets the other.

It’s awful they didn’t reopen Charity. It served a good purpose, was a great teaching hospital and probably the best trauma center around. I read LSU had something to do with stopping it from reopening. And now those patients clog up all of the other hospital ERs.

This seems like the most promising effort thus far.
I think it’s also noteworthy that it’s suddenly moving again now that Destroya is gone.

Plus he didn’t like NOLA, like most governors

I'll laugh if LSU figures out a way to embezzle that money and give it to football players.
