Comprised primarily of the Louisiana State University Museum
of Art, the Douglas L. Manship Sr. Theater for the Visual
and Performing Arts, the Shaw
Center for the Arts in Baton Rouge is the product of Schwartz/Silver
Architects (design architect) and Eskew
+ Dumez + Ripple (architect of record). Situated across
from the Old State Capitol and facing the Mississippi River,
the 125,000 s.f. facility straddles and incorporates an existing
"Auto Hotel", retained for its historic facade.
The interaction between the
two gives the project its most dramatic expression, one that
is driving development nearby the Shaw Center.
