Gibbs Construction, as part of a joint venture with VPG Construction, was engaged by Xavier University of Louisiana as a design-build contractor to aid in the assessment and repair of aging buildings on their campus.

Gibbs Construction recently completed the impressive Brother Martin High School Batting Facility, marking a significant addition to the school’s athletic infrastructure. Spanning a single story and a spacious 3,745 square feet, this state-of-the-art facility boasts three bays, offering ample space for athletes to hone their skills.

This 71,643 square-foot multi-level historic school houses 33 teaching classrooms, two conference rooms, an art room, a music room, a faculty lounge, a band room, admin offices, a telecommunications room, a library, three computer labs, and restrooms.

This 90,000 square-foot multi-level complex houses 25 teaching classrooms, five technology learning centers, two hands-on laboratories, sensory and speech development classrooms, and a gymnasium complete with a full-size basketball court, performing stage and retractable seating.

Arlene Meraux Elementary School is a 115,000-square-foot state-of-the-art new facility that opened its doors to nearly 550 students in August 2017. It was the final school project of the St. Bernard Parish School Board’s rebuilding program necessitated by 2005’s Hurricane Katrina, which flooded every building in St. Bernard Parish.

The Phillis Wheatley Elementary School is a state-of-the-art three-story structure totaling 96,000 square feet.

The New Orleans East High School at Abramson is a two-story, 107,000-square-foot structure.

Edward Livingston High School is a beacon of the rebirth of the Hurricane Katrina-ravaged New Orleans East community.

The Maumus Center is a combination of new construction and historic renovation of the former Maumus High School, which suffered extensive damage during Hurricane Katrina.
