TBA Studio was selected to design a new nursing, welding, and workforce training campus in Ruston, Louisiana. These facilities were a full rebuild of the previous Louisiana Delta Community College Ruston Campus off Interstate 20. The new campus provides general education space, classrooms, collaboration spaces, administrative, security and support areas. The campus also includes a separate building that houses the vocational welding facility. The new campus provides improved facilities as well as new collaboration opportunities for students and faculty. TBA designed designated spaces for each specific educational concentration. These spaces range from a simulation hospital to a vocational training lab. There are areas for student lounge and collaboration spaces. These spaces fill the two-story building as well as the vocational welding shop. Large double-height glass greets the students and faculty in a large lobby. The use of ACM and wood grain finished metal panels gives the building a sophisticated and modern appearance while mixing with the traditional brick elements that complement the existing Louisiana Delta Community College campuses.
