Tipton designed this campus master plan in response to the Lab School’s need to accommodate student growth within a restrictive site within the overall LSU campus and update their aging 1950’s facilities. A comprehensive evaluation of programs and space requirements were done to allow the school to fullfill their mission as the state’s demonstration school, promote unified learning communities and energize their alumni base.

Challenged to fullfill their mission with diminishing funding and no source of capital funding, Tipton designed the plan to be implemented in phases, easing funding demands and limiting student interruption. Middle school renovations and additions, elementary and classroom renovations were completed in 2004.

Tipton designed this new gymnasium for the campus to function as a multi-use facility that houses the entire campus population in one seating with construction complete in 2011. Beginning with a four month planning process in 2001, Tipton Associates work with the Lab School throughout the implementation of the plan in 2012, brought this school of academic distinction into the facilities and campus environment desired.

Tipton Associates was challenged to plan for and implement immediate and long-term facility improvements to allow for an increase in student population and modernize the facilities of the state’s demonstration school while keeping within context of nearby facilities. After collaborating with school, state, and community officials, Tipton Associates’ Project Team developed a multi-million dollar comprehensive Master Plan of campus renovations and additions broken into multiple phases to ease funding demand and minimize student interruption. Since completing the campus master plan, Tipton Associates has worked with the Lab School foundation and oversight committee, faculty and staff, as well as university officials, to ensure thorough implementation. Through visioning, planning, and modeling exercises, Tipton Associates has aided fundraising efforts for the Auditorium, Gym, and Classroom Renovations and Additions.
