Adaptive reuse of any viable facility is probably the most
environmentally responsible design solution for a facility.
There is no "greener" solution to urban development than the
idea of urban infill or the reuse of existing facilities and
infrastructure. It is for this reason our team has focused
on the adaptive reuse of the existing facility to upgrade
and enhance the fabric of the central business district of
Baton Rouge.
The
adaptive reuse of the existing facility will require a total
transformation of the existing structure. The project will
renovate the building into shell-ready space conducive to
Class "A" office space. It is anticipated that the first
and other lower floors will be renovated to accommodate the
needs of Capital One bank. The upper remaining upper floors
will be used as office space by the Baton Rouge Area
Foundation, Commercial Properties Realty Trust and other
office tenants.
