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 Imperial Hotel Day 6

Group Blog
Members: Rob, Jessica, Shawn, and Annette

It's a Saturday and guess where we are? In studio of course! But that's no different from every Saturday really. Today, each team presented their work to the other two teams. It was nice to get a full update on what everyone has been working on and where they are having difficulties. Some of the problems that arose during the presentations had already been addressed in one of the other projects, so we were able to give advice to one another. Our building had some major problems with the circulation of the building. We've corrected the staircases and elevators, but now we have to readjust the adjacent spaces in the building. Hopefully after this set back, we will be able to settle on a permanent design for the interior rooms. We are all looking forward to barbecuing steaks tonight and sleeping in tomorrow morning. It will be nice to finally see the campsite in the light of day and explore the woods!
