Louisiana State University Academic Center
Trahan Architects renovated the LSU gymnasium/armory, one of the most historically significant buildings on campus, to create the Louisiana State University Academic Center for Student Athletes and the Campbell Auditorium—a layered and rich experience of light, mass and volume that serves in opposition to the hectic lives of the student athletes.
The firm approach the project with three main architectural objectives: to respond to the historical importance of the building by maintaining the look of the exterior skin and by respecting the original volumes of the interior; to use a simple and honest palette of natural materials and modern details to create the new interior; and to signify the importance of learning through the architecture and materials.
