Warren Easton Expansion

This school construction project is the Warren Easton Charter High School 9th grade expansion. The project is a historical renovation of a five-story building that increased one local high school’s much needed reach and capacity to serve the local community and students in New Orleans, LA. This new educational building, totaling over 22,500+ SF, is the first stand-alone ninth grade academy in New Orleans. This separate space allows the students an easier transition to high school. The facility offers a dining hall, 2 science labs, and 17 classrooms to accommodate the students. The Pelican Chapter of the Associated Builders & Contractors recognized this building with an Excellence in Construction Award in 2022.
