Contractors will soon break ground on another building at The Water Campus in Baton Rouge, La. The 35-acre property along the Mississippi River is being developed to house 1.8 million sq ft of labs, research, facilities and commercial space for coastal science and engineering.
Phase 1 of the project includes $55 million in commitments for the construction of three buildings. The latest facility to be constructed is a $22 million glass and metal building over the Mississippi River that will serve as the headquarters of the Water Institute of the Gulf. The 33,000 sq ft building will feature a gallery, offices, research labs and meeting rooms.
