Richardson Memorial Hall is one of the oldest buildings on Tulane University's Uptown campus in New Orleans. The firm Andry and Bendernagel designed it in 1907 to house the Tulane Medical College. It is a five-story building of brick and limestone in the Richardsonian Romanesque style.

The Tulane School of Architecture has been based here since 1968. Trapolin-Peer Architects led a full renovation from fall 2021 to spring 2025. It added teaching and studio spaces, faculty and administrative offices, and the building's first gallery.

Studios fill the second through fifth floors. Thomson Hall, the main lecture and event space, seats about 120 people. The building also has the Favrot Lobby, the Mintz Computer Classroom and fabrication labs with outdoor space for overflow.

This building has no Wikipedia article. Facts come from Tulane School of Architecture.
