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. For more information, please contact the Office of Community Design and Development.

Team Crichton

YEAH, OK!

Our last day of work has been extremely productive. We are finalizing our work and formatting it to meet our presentation requirements. As of now we have compiled nearly 4 of our 11x 17 presentation boards. These completed boards include a site introduction, existing conditions, and our proposed front elevation. In addition to these boards, we are adding several more which include a rendered section, site plans, floor plans, and exterior renderings. We have a lot of this work completed but we need to place it in presentation format. It’s going to be a long night, but hopefully we can come together and get all of our work done in time.

Team Imperial Hotel Day 11

We are all very excited for our presentation tomorrow! We will be up late tonight finishing our final documents and printing. We are also building a model of the hotel. Thank you to everyone for all the support! We are excited to be back in Minden tomorrow!
