Founded in 1915 as a state demonstration school, the Laboratory School of Louisiana State University remains committed to the development, implementation, and demonstration of exemplary programs of instructional practices across K thru 12. This project was the initial phase of an immediate and long-term facility improvements plan to allow an increase in student population to 928. Project features include state-of-the-art middle school academic spaces, a zoned media center to support grades K-12, a unique dining facility to accommodate 280 students in a single seating, and a classroom clustering for middle school students by grade. Tipton Associates first completed the campus master plan and has now completed renovations to the classrooms, cafeteria, media center, auditorium, and band & choir facilities.
