WELCOME

WELCOME to the LSU Minden Main Street Workshop. Students and faculty from the LSU School of Architecture will be working and living in Minden for two weeks to provide assistance to Minden Louisiana Main Street in their efforts to cultivate a resilient community. This program is funded in part through a grant awarded to the LSU Office of Community Design and Development from the National Endowment for the Arts. The Minden Main Street Workshop is the first in a series of workshops to connect environmentally responsible design practices with historic preservation strategies to accelerate sustainable development in Louisiana's small towns and cities.

Team Crichton Bld.

Meet Team Crichton:

Today was an extremely productive today for Team Crichton. We narrowed down our program options and chose the best solution for our building. Utilizing both floors, we have decided to create four luxury lofts in the existing shell of the Crichton building. These lofts will be extremely spacious and will have personal garages and green spaces. We are very optimistic and are excited to see how this new concept develops. We are currently working hard on elevations, floor plans, and 3-D models. Hopefully we can pull enough digital media together over the weekend to show our owner the true potential of his space.
