Expanding access to integrated care, the new 16,500 SF Ochsner Abrom Kaplan Health Clinic in Kaplan, LA, is slated to open in summer 2027. The facility will offer primary care and therapy services within a thoughtfully designed, efficient footprint. A 10,000 SF clinic will include 16 exam rooms, three nurse stations, and on-site testing, complemented by a 6,500 SF therapy gym with advanced rehabilitation spaces. Designed with room to grow, the project supports the community's evolving healthcare needs.

Project Highlight! USA Recreation Center

A bold gateway to campus life, WHLC collaborated with to design this 116,000 SF facility blending the campus' traditional architecture with vibrant, contemporary interiors. Recognized as an Outstanding Sports Facility by NIRSA, it brings together fitness spaces, gymnasiums, climbing wall, racquetball, an indoor track, roller hockey rink, and indoor/outdoor aquatics, energizing wellness across the University of South Alabama community.

Atmos Energy's Louisiana Division, located at II Rivermark Centre in Downtown Baton Rouge, recently renovated to expand their existing offices. The updated facility prioritizes a modern aesthetic while focusing on capturing natural light to illuminate the interiors. Added amenities were designed to revitalize the workspace and promote in-person work.
The resulting 15,000 SF office provides a comfortable space for Atmos employees to work and collaborate, continuing to provide natural gas service throughout the south.
