Construction has begun on the Tulane Goldring Tennis Center, the long-awaited new home for Tulane Tennis, which will also offer an additional, state-of-the-art venue for the New Orleans tennis community and area pickle ball enthusiasts. Work on the project began this month and is expected to be completed in the spring of 2026.
"From providing funding for the buildings that house Tulane's A. B. Freeman School of Business to helping establish the pioneering Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine, the Goldring family has supported the success and dreams of Tulane students for generations," President Michael A. Fitts said. "This new center will further the historic ascent of Tulane's athletics program and allow us to continue to attract the country's most promising and accomplished student-athletes."
"Constructing these courts will ensure that our student-athletes have a dedicated space to train, compete, and represent Tulane University," said David Harris, the Ben Weiner Director of Athletics Chair at Tulane. "This is an effort Green Wave fans have waited long for – one which further underscores our commitment to excellence in athletics and providing the best for our teams and supporters. We are forever thankful for the dedication of the Goldring Family in continually moving Tulane Athletics forward in every way."

Mid-Pacific Institute Breaks Ground on $7.5M Track and Field Venue
Mid-Pacific Institute broke ground on its long-planned track and field venue on its Manoa campus with a dedication ceremony on a sunny Tuesday.
The $7.5 million project had been discussed since at least 2022, when the school announced a $1.5 million donation from businessman Mike Wood and his wife, Joanne.
A six-lane track and natural grass field interior will provide an on-campus home for MPI’s varsity track and field, soccer and flag football teams. The Owls have traveled to other campuses and sites to either practice or play in those sports.
The five-acre facility, designed by the firm G70, will also serve students in grades 7 through 12 in physical education, and school events, including commencements.
Construction is slated for completion by spring 2026.
