PROJECT INFORMATION

COMPLETED: 2013

PROGRAM: 51,000 SF

BUDGET: UNDISCLOSED

CLIENT: LOYOLA UNIVERSITY

LOCATION: NEW ORLEANS, LA

Mathes Brierre Architects recently completed the renovation of Cabra Hall, an existing residence hall at Loyola University, updating the facility to meet  current student housing trends. The newly renovated Cabra Hall provides apartment style living and modern amenities as well as meets the requirements for LEED accreditation. New exterior louvers reminiscent of the shutters found in the surrounding residential neighborhood have been incorporated onto the existing arcade, reducing heat gain and providing shelter from rain. A glass screen wall will slip past the exterior colonnade, giving the building a center/core while also shielding the newly installed modern elevator.
