New Orleans – Caesars New Orleans has embarked on a significant $1.5 million project to transform approximately 4,760 square feet of shell space on the second floor of Caesars Casino into modern executive offices. Ryan Gootee General Contractors has been contracted to oversee the construction, which will introduce a variety of upgrades and enhancements to the area.
The construction will include the installation of interior partitions and high-end finishes, creating a sophisticated atmosphere in the new executive offices. Custom millwork and a designed ceiling layout will further enhance the aesthetics and functionality of the space. In addition to these visual improvements, the project will focus on upgrading essential systems like mechanical, electrical, and plumbing infrastructures. This will include modifications to the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, improved lighting fixtures, and other electrical enhancements crucial for modern office environments.
Moreover, the project aims to integrate contemporary IT and security infrastructure that includes the installation of data cabling and advanced access control systems, ensuring a secure and efficient operating environment for Caesars executives.
In a parallel development, Holy Cross School has been actively renovating its facilities to provide students with modern, functional spaces that enhance the learning experience. The ongoing capital improvement campaign has nearly completed the renovation of the entire interior of its academic building. Notable upgrades include substantial improvements made to first-floor areas, such as a revamped cafeteria, and the addition of exciting new amenities including a fabrication lab and makerspace, which aim to foster creativity and hands-on learning among students.
Recent permits filed by Lanco Construction Inc. indicate further plans for the school, which are set to include the construction of a new hitting facility designed to support the athletic development of students. To bolster athletic programs, plans are also underway to improve outdoor athletic facilities. These upgrades will focus on enhancing entrances and public spaces, ensuring compliance with safety regulations by upgrading bleachers, and adding essential amenities such as restrooms, concessions, and storage. The expansion of locker room spaces will also be included in the proposed plans, addressing the needs of student athletes.
The projects at both Caesars New Orleans and Holy Cross School exemplify a commitment to improving facilities that cater to both professional and educational environments. The enhancements at Caesars aim to create a modern workspace that supports executive operations, while the upgrades at Holy Cross are focused on enriching student experiences through well-designed, upgraded facilities.
As these projects progress, they represent significant investments in infrastructure that align with contemporary standards, addressing both utility and aesthetics in their respective sectors. These undertakings not only reflect the ongoing development within New Orleans but also the dedication to creating spaces that meet the evolving needs of businesses and educational institutions alike.
