Client: Jefferson Parish Public School System (JPPSS)
Perez designed this new high school to be an educational tool itself—with building systems exposed so that students can see how the structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems actually work. The school’s pedagogical objectives drove the design of the school, with classrooms organized into pods attached to a circulation spine anchored by the cafeteria. Each of the three pods (each one named for a famous scientist) is comprised of classrooms surrounding a multi-purpose ‘breakout’ space. The classrooms are for individual learning, while the multi-purpose spaces are for hands-on activities and group projects.

Client: City of Kenner
The intention for this 100,000 SF multi-purpose facility overlooking Lake Pontchartrain was to create a state-of-the-art convention facility in a resort-like environment. Located just minutes from the airport and all of New Orleans’ famed neighborhoods, the Center serves conventions, tradeshows, athletic events, theatrical and musical performances, large banquets, and Mardi Gras balls.

Client: Louisiana World Exposition, Inc.
The Historic 1984 World’s Fair transformed a decaying industrial area into a vibrant postmodern festival, spurring redevelopment of the entire downtown and riverfront area of New Orleans. Perez served as the Master Planner and Lead Design Team and created one of the most notable aspects of the fair: the Mississippi Aerial River Transit (or MART), an aerial gondola traversing the river from the CBD to Algiers Point, built to showcase non-polluting commuter transit options.
