Loyola, Tulane plan to increase student housing

Loyola and Tulane universities bring about 11,000 students each year to the Uptown area. Dorms available for students, however, are limited. With insufficient student housing available, both Loyola and Tulane have announced the beginning of new residential buildings on their campuses.

In November, Tulane announced through email the beginning of the first phase of a new project that will add an additional 1,200 beds to their student housing, according to Tulane spokesperson Michael Strecker.
