Finish Date: ---
Description: The Tulane Institute of Sports Medicine Clinic, which is located on the Uptown Campus, took in approximately 12 inches of water as a result of Hurricane Katrina and had to be renovated. This project was a fast track project that required a 7 day a week schedule. New floors, casework, doors and finishes were installed.
