Join AIA New Orleans and ULI Louisiana for an exclusive walkthrough of Shiloh Gardens Academy, a recently completed adaptive reuse project in New Orleans’ Holy Cross neighborhood.
This unique project transformed a historic corner store into a vibrant neighborhood preschool, demonstrating how thoughtful design, preservation, and innovative financing can create meaningful community impact. The development leveraged historic tax credits and preservation strategies to breathe new life into an existing structure while meeting the educational needs of local families.
During the tour, members of the project team will share insights into the vision, design process, development challenges, and preservation approach behind the project. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the completed facility, hear directly from key project stakeholders, and engage in discussion about adaptive reuse, community-centered design, and neighborhood revitalization.
Whether you’re an architect, developer, planner, preservationist, or community advocate, this tour offers a firsthand look at a compelling example of how historic buildings can be reimagined to serve contemporary needs.
