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 Imperial Hotel Day 9



Today was our last full work day in Minden. We began the day with a lesson from Frank on how to technically represent stairs and doors in plan as well as their regulation standards. We printed out our most recent plans and sections for our final client meeting today. Then Frank and Marsha took us all out for a home-cooked meal at Moody's! We all had a great time and a delicious dinner. Our client was very excited about our designs and gave us a few more things to think about before we stop designing. We are very happy with our progress on the Imperial Hotel. Professor Ray Scriber is here to give a presentation about the program that made all of this happen, the Main Street Program. We are all very excited to start our Christmas break after a half-day tomorrow!
