Malkin Sacks Commons

The Malkin Sacks Commons at Tulane's uptown campus is a 77,000-square-foot hub blending student life, academics, research, and exceptional dining. It serves as a vibrant gathering place where students, faculty, staff, and visitors come together to enrich the intellectual and communal life of the university. This transformative space consolidates the operations of the Newcomb Institute and a state-of-the-art dining room with multiple platforms offering local and international cuisine, a Chef’s Table demonstration kitchen, and a market for snacks and to-go meals. Nestled amidst oak trees with views of Berger Family Lawn and Newcomb Quad, the Malkin Sacks Commons fosters community connections, complementing essential campus spaces and embodying the heart and soul of the Tulane experience.
