T. Baker Smith Baton Rouge

Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Client: T. Baker Smith

This civil engineering firm had growing pains at its Baton Rouge location and called on Lincoln Builders to design-assist in providing an expansion:

Goals for the improved campus included:

• Improving operational efficiencies in the work spaces
• Accommodating future expansion
• Efficient site utilization
• Expediting the construction schedule

To meet these goals, Lincoln Builders acquired an understanding of the owner’s operational process and use of large specialty survey equipment. Working in tandem with Greenleaf Lawson Architects, we explored multiple structural options to maintain the project budget and improve on the schedule.

The result is an innovative 8,500 square-foot office space with:

• Modular interiors suitable for reconfigurability
• Advanced AV capabilities for training and collaboration with other TBS offices
• PEMB rigid-frame construction with clerestory windows added to the building’s efficiency by providing abundant natural lighting
• Site adaptation provides for future growth without impeding large existing trees on site

Also on campus is a separate 4,000 square-foot survey building with exterior work bays for equipment.
