NANO is currently the architect of record for the comprehensive 11,500 SF interior renovation of LSU’s Student Union Ballroom. The scope of work includes all new finishes, lighting, window treatments, stage repair, and addition of an ADA lift at the stage. Our design intent is to create a timeless design by using a rich and layered material palette, while incorporating subtle LSU branding through wood paneling. The space will evoke warmth and depth, while highlighting the expansive view of the live oak courtyard outside.

NANO used LSU's natural landscape as an inspiration for a 3-dimensional abstract wall piece - the ballroom's 100' glass curtain wall lends an expansive view to the live oak courtyard below. Our design adheres to LSU's campus overarching design principle of layering landscapes with building, mediating between indoor and outdoor, and enhancing the grand scale of the ballroom.
