The Facility Design and Management Studio’s
mission is to educate the University community to good interior
design principles and to provide design assistance to on-campus
units at UL Lafayette. The FDMS allows students to infuse
real-life situations into their design projects, such as
budgeting and working with vendors, which is an important
aspect of the School of Architecture and Design’s
mission. Students conduct extensive interviews with their
clients to identify how the space can be used most effectively,
and field questions about design elements. Recent projects
include renovations to the following: the French House for
the new offices for Enrollment Services, the Dean of Education's
Office Suite and the Lobby of Maxim Doucet Hall, and the
Dean of Nursing's Suite and Conference Room in Wharton Hall.
Recent proposals include those for adding a coffee shop
in the Edith Garland Dupre Library, Rose Garden Dormitories'
renovations, and proposals for an Art and Accessories program
for the new Hilton Garden Inn on UL Lafayette's Campus.
