Louisiana State University Health Shreveport (LSUHS) will establish the Cancer and Cardiovascular Research Facility to showcase the institution’s innovative activities and groundbreaking discoveries. The first phase of the adaptive reuse project involves the renovation of 92,500 sf in a former 181,000-sf department store to provide open labs, offices, a vivarium, and support areas.
Flad Architects is leading the design team for the flexible medical research center in collaboration with Prevot Design and Sutton Beebe Babin Architects. The former Sears building offers wide-open spaces that can easily adapt to evolving research programs, delivering a flexible and cost-effective solution to changes in size and scope. The transformation of an existing structure will enable an expedited construction timeline. EMA Engineering & Consulting is acting as MEP/FP engineer and Aillet, Fenner, Jolly, & McClelland is serving as civil engineer.
Located less than a mile from the main Shreveport campus, the 18-acre site may accommodate expanded clinical operations for the nearby Ochsner LSU Health center in the future.
