Tulane's primary campus is located in [[Uptown New Orleans]] on [[St. Charles Avenue]], directly opposite [[Audubon Park (New Orleans)|Audubon Park]], and extends north to South Claiborne Avenue through [[Freret, New Orleans|Freret]] and Willow Street. The campus is known colloquially as the Uptown or St. Charles campus. It was established in the 1890s and occupies more than {{convert|110|acre|km2}} of land. The campus is known both for its large [[live oak]] trees as well as its architecturally historic buildings. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978. The campus architecture consists of several styles, including [[Richardsonian Romanesque]], Elizabethan, [[Renaissance architecture|Italian Renaissance]], Mid-Century Modern, and contemporary styles. The front campus buildings use Indiana White Limestone or orange brick for exteriors, while the middle campus buildings are mostly adorned in red St. Joe brick, the staple of Newcomb College Campus buildings. [[Loyola University New Orleans|Loyola University]] is directly adjacent to Tulane, on the downriver side. [[Audubon Place (New Orleans, Louisiana)|Audubon Place]], where the [[President of Tulane]] resides, is on the upriver side. The President's residence is the former home of "banana king" [[Sam Zemurray]], who donated it in his will.

The centerpiece of the Gibson Quad is the first academic building built on campus, [[Gibson Hall (Tulane University)|Gibson Hall]], in 1894. The School of Architecture is also located on the oldest section of the campus, occupying the Richardson Memorial Building. The middle of the campus, between Feret and Willow Streets, and bisected by [[McAlister Place, New Orleans|McAlister Place]] and Newcomb Place, serves as the center of campus activities. The Lavin-Bernick Center for University Life, [[Devlin Fieldhouse]], McAlister Auditorium, [[Howard-Tilton Memorial Library]], and most of the student residence halls and academic buildings populate the center of campus.

The [[Howard-Tilton Memorial Library]] is located on [[Freret Street]]. It was under construction from 2013 to 2016, but it now has two additional floors, as well as a  Rare Books room. The facilities for the [[Freeman School of Business]] line McAlister Place and sit next to the [[Tulane University Law School]]. The center of campus is also home to the historic [[Newcomb College]] Campus, which sits between Newcomb Place and Broadway. The Newcomb campus was designed by New York architect [[James Gamble Rogers]], noted for his work with [[Yale University]]'s campus.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tulane.edu/~alumni/potpourri/VIID.pdf|title=Newcomb Buildings |publisher=tulane.edu|access-date=June 21, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070628180913/http://www.tulane.edu/~alumni/potpourri/VIID.pdf|archive-date=June 28, 2007|url-status=live}}</ref> The Newcomb campus is home to Tulane's performing and fine arts venues.

The back of campus, between Willow Street and South Claiborne, is home to two residence halls (Aron Residences and Décou-Labat Residences), Reily Recreation Center, and [[Greer Field at Turchin Stadium|Turchin Stadium]], and in January 2013, ground was broken on Tulane's [[Yulman Stadium]] between Reily Recreation Center and Turchin Stadium. [[Tulane Green Wave football]] had played in the [[Mercedes-Benz Superdome]] since [[Tulane Stadium]]'s demolition in 1980. They now play in [[Yulman Stadium]], which opened in September 2014.

After [[Hurricane Katrina]], Tulane has continued to build new facilities and renovate old spaces on its campus. The newest dorm buildings, Lake and River Residence Halls, were completed in 2023 following the demolition of Phelps Hall and Irby Hall. Weatherhead Hall was completed in 2011, and it now houses sophomore students. Construction on Greenbaum House, a Residential College in the Newcomb Campus area, began in January 2013 and was completed by Summer 2014. The Lallage Feazel Wall Residential College was completed in August 2005 and took in its first students when Tulane re-opened in January 2006. Usually an honors dorm, Wall began accommodating students of all academic standings during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Lavin-Bernick Center for University Life (LBC) was renovated to be a green, environmentally friendly building and opened for student use in January 2007.<ref>[http://www2.tulane.edu/article_news_details.cfm?ArticleID=7045 "Campus Is Hopping as Students Return,"] ''New Wave'', January 12, 2007 {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100610112914/http://www2.tulane.edu/article_news_details.cfm?ArticleID=7045 |date=June 10, 2010 }}</ref> In 2009, the university altered McAlister Drive, a street that ran through the middle of the uptown campus into a pedestrian walkway renamed McAlister Place. The area was resurfaced, and the newly added green spaces were adorned with Japanese magnolias, irises and new lighting. In late November 2008 the City of New Orleans announced plans to add bicycle lanes to the [[St. Charles Avenue]] corridor that runs in front of campus.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nola.com/timespic/stories/index.ssf?/base/living-2/1227334883282870.xml&coll=1|title=Repaved Streets Will Have Lanes for Bicycling|newspaper=The Times-Picayune|date=November 22, 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090113070725/http://www.nola.com/timespic/stories/index.ssf?%2Fbase%2Fliving-2%2F1227334883282870.xml&coll=1|archive-date=January 13, 2009}}</ref>

In 2019, a new student space located in the middle of the uptown campus, The Malkin Sacks Commons, was opened by President Mike Fitts. The Commons is the central dining area on campus. Catering to most dietary restrictions, The Commons directly connects to the Lavin-Bernick Center on the second floor, and on its third floor houses the Newcomb Institute.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://news.tulane.edu/pr/tulane-president-welcomes-university-community-commons-music-and-more|title=Tulane president welcomes university community to The Commons with music and more|website=Tulane News|date=August 23, 2019 |language=en|access-date=March 20, 2020}}</ref>
