As educational methods in higher education evolve, space requirements also change. Institutions must explore meaningful ways to renovate existing assets in order to support modern educational needs. This session will discuss how Louisiana State University (LSU) employed adaptive reuse and revitalization to transform a historic and culturally-significant 1932 field house into a collaborative learning center for kinesiology and sociology programs. Join us to learn about the trials and triumphs of the major design interventions and renovations to LSU's culturally-iconic building.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Evaluate existing assets for atypical renovations.
  2. Establish protocols and hierarchies for diverse stakeholder engagement.
  3. Explain how to use design vision to build consensus around sensitive modifications.
  4. Adapt program requirements while maintaining both program and historic integrity.
