The Latin American Cultural Center is a mixed-use building for Tulane University’s growing Latin American Studies program. The facility houses ten student dormitories, one faculty apartment, social space, teaching space, a library, and a large gallery. The building also reflects the efforts of the Freret Street community to rejuvenate itself through an increased commercial presence. The facility addresses two streets by facing the gallery towards to the main commercial street. The entrance of the residential area faces the secondary street. The educational and living facilities are nestled into the heart of the building with the communal area projecting into the street. The project creates a large gallery space that ranges from one to three story heights with dynamic visual and spatial connections to all other functions.
