Tulane Medical Center decided to build its first Helistop when the need became apparent after the storm and flood events of 2005.  VergesRome Architects worked with Tulane Medical Center to develop five options for rooftop locations.  The final location situated the Helistop,  atop an eighth floor rooftop, 120 feet above ground level. The $2 Million Helistop can hold a Black Hawk Helicopter and is used for patient transfer.
