The new LSU Dental School Annex Building is out of the ground, with the first concrete slab pour on the July 4th weekend. VergesRome/Mathes Brierre Architects, A Joint Venture, designed the new, raised, two-story Annex building to house operations that previously occupied the basement and first floors of the Clinic Building damaged in Hurricane Katrina. Operations to be housed in the new facility include dental surgery rooms, dental operatories, faculty practice dental clinic, housekeeping, shipping and receiving operations, public reception, laboratories, student teaching, research, and training facilities.
Flooding at Saint Joseph Abbey and Seminary College – March 2016
VergesRome Architects and The Sulzer Group are honored to have been chosen to lead Saint Joseph Abbey and Seminary College’s disaster recovery efforts.
On Friday, March 11, 2016, floodwaters from the Bogue Falaya River inundated Saint Joseph Abbey and Seminary College with nearly two feet of water. The impact of the flood far surpasses damages suffered in Hurricane Katrina — especially in light of record enrollment in the seminary. Fortunately no one was hurt, however 31 buildings were damaged. Seminary classes resumed after Easter, but the Abbey and campus remain closed to the public.
Additional photos of the flooding and immediate aftermath can be seen here on the Saint Joseph Abbey and Seminary College website.
