Baton Rouge Community College – total $13.8M

1. Baton Rouge Community College Student Center – $6.1M

Project consisted of extensive demolition of existing 47,000 sq. ft. office building including all of the interior walls and architectural features, mechanical, and electrical systems, leaving only the structural components of the building shell. The exterior elevations were rebuilt using pre-cast concrete, masonry, and plaster to conform to the architectural features of the existing campus. This renovation required vision and planning to deal with existing clearances and obstructions inherent in the structural design of a 50-year-old building.

2. Baton Rouge Community College Health and Wellness Center - $7.7M

38,900 sq. ft. building with 8 classrooms and a 15,000 sq. ft. gymnasium/arena. Amenities include a climbing wall, training room, weight room, office space and dance studio. The arena is capable of seating 2,800 persons for assembly and is built to NCAA standards for basketball/volleyball play. Bleachers in the gym retract to facilitate play on four side courts. The exterior features decorative brick with stucco accents. A translucent panel system highlights the exterior façade of the gym structure allowing natural light to enter the space while still maintaining energy efficiency.
