In addition, demolition of the Anthropology building is scheduled to
begin on Nov. 10.
Work on both sites will take place during normal hours of construction
operations between 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday-Friday. Weekend work
will be limited.
There's nothing left for me to do. I will state, quite soberly, that President Scott Cowen, and the Tulane administration in general, demonstrated remarkable short-sightedness in simply scooping up FEMA money to raze the structure given its distinctiveness. I also fault the Tulane campus for failing to even generate a discussion about the building beyond the last minute one I forced it to have. The administration's steamroll-it-through attitude coupled with student body apathy is all too symptomatic of the campus dynamic.
We will never get this building back.
