Edward Livingston High School

Educational

Since 1976, Gibbs Construction has been the team behind the buildings where we all work and play, grow up, grow smart, and grow old. We're the hardhats you've seen on almost every campus, on every corner. The group behind the Superdome re-skin. The Smoothie King Arena. The Audubon Institute's Cool Zoo. The Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. We work to ensure that every project we touch truly becomes part of the neighborhoods we love.

Gibbs Project View

Edward Livingston High School is a beacon of the rebirth of the Hurricane Katrina-ravaged New Orleans East community. The LEED Silver 107,000-square-foot new construction houses instructional space, administrative support space, a regulation-sized gym with specialized stage and lighting, an acoustically-rated black box music and performance room, a fitness room, a full-service commercial kitchen, a 3,000-square-foot media center, and the latest information technology services. The superstructure consists of steel framing supporting a concrete/metal form deck. The roof structure is steel framing with metal deck. Interior partitions are a mix of metal stud and gypsum board construction and non-load-bearing concrete masonry. The exterior cladding is brick and aluminum metal wall panels. The roof systems are metal panels and SBS modified membrane. The interior finishes include VCT, terrazzo, ceramic and quarry tile, and acoustic panel ceilings.
