It includes all of the rest of the property not purchased from the Diocese and three separate parcels including a parking garage.

The location couldn't be better for The U.

It's bigger than the original campus in 1898.

I still think they should have kept the 100 acres on Johnston.

Any chance for a med school? Can we become the UAB of Louisiana?

Wonderful news for the university. Will look forward to seeing this vision pan out:

“We want to increase the number of nursing and health sciences students we enroll and graduate; expand degree programs; enhance existing partnerships with health providers and build others; create collaborations with professional schools and health systems; and deepen relationships with biomedical and biopharmaceutical firms,” Savoie continued.

Until you see in in writing and the ink is dry and it says a med school here under the ULS, then I’ll get excited.

Take it for what it's worth, but he did mention "potential"
