This multi-story parking garage and bookstore located in the heart of LSU’s campus had to be carefully situated between historic buildings and mature live oaks at the northwest corner of Highland Road and Raphael Semmes Drive. This project is the first of its kind on campus – a blend of parking structure and LSU’s Spanish influence architecture. Located at the entrance to the bookstore, a large plaza enclosed by a curved seat wall and raised planter offers plenty of outdoor seating for reading and dining. Specialty paving and additional seating areas seamlessly integrate the new building with the adjacent newly renovated Old President’s House building.
