1440 Canal Building
The 1440 Canal, also formerly known as the Tidewater Building and
Tidewater Place, located at 1440 Canal Street in the Medical District
of the Central Business District of New Orleans, Louisiana, is
officially a 24-story, 288 feet-tall high-rise building
designed by Kessels-Diboll-Kessels. The building has lesser-known 25th
and 26th floors that are accessible only from the 24th floor and are
much smaller in area than the other floors.
It originally was built as the corporate office for Tidewater
Marine in 1971. Tidewater Inc. donated the building to Tulane
University in 1993. The building is the home to the Tulane University
School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. A few other Tulane
offices are housed there as well.
