The challenge was to transform a rigidly compartmentalized and environmentally inefficient building into a dynamic, sustainable new university center. The new program includes public lounge/study spaces, dining and catering, bookstore, commercial services, conference facilities, a 300-seat auditorium, and administrative offices. Although the New Orleans climate is hot and humid, there are prolonged periods when daily conditions fall within the comfort zone. The introduction of shade, radiant cooled surfaces, and air movement significantly extends the number of days the building can remain open to the exterior. Retaining only the existing concrete frame, the building facades were reconceived as a dynamic envelope to encourage movement of people, light, and air.
