This Interior Design senior studio is a community-based project with Arnaudville, located in St. Martin and St. Landry Parishes in Louisiana. Students had the opportunity to interact and consider actual client needs and requirements in completing the interior architecture and design for a proposed French immersion cultural center: Saint Luc French Immersion Campus. The project focuses on adaptive reuse by using the existing site and building of the decommissioned St. Luke Parish Hospital.

​

The semester commenced with an interdisciplinary collaboration with a fourth year LSU Landscape Architecture Studio. The first six weeks of the semester involved interdisciplinary team work involving both field and studio work. The two studios shared creative observation, research methodologies, and design strategies in both group and individual investigations. The disciplines then focused on discipline specific design resolutions integrating the outcomes from the shared research. An additional Interior Design Advanced Studies course worked in concert with the design project, engaging in community interaction, special topics and support details.
