Louisiana State University Julian White Hall
Baton Rouge, LA
Established
in 1965, Julian White Hall has evolved into a hub for creativity and learning
within LSU’s College of Art & Design. Originally established as part of the
School of Environmental Design and renamed in honor of Julian T. White, LSU’s
first Black professor, White Hall embodies LSU’s commitment to fostering
diverse perspectives in architectural education.
NANO is presently in the process of replacing the 50,000 square feet exterior brick veneer system, to create a contemporary exterior that not only ensures durability but also seamlessly integrates with LSU’s campus. Our team is researching copper panels, terracotta, and more options for exterior cladding and is conducting a thorough investigation into the existing brick tie system that failed due to moisture intrusion. The goal is to craft a visually appealing exterior that enhances durability, and resilience against water intrusion, and seamlessly integrates with LSU’s campus, while showcasing exceptional design. This project not only addresses structural concerns but also pays homage to the rich history and architectural significance of Julian White Hall within LSU’s campus landscape.
