THE ASK
The University of Louisiana at Lafayette needed an interim bookstore while its student center underwent a remodel. Requiring a fast and reliable solution, leaders at the school sought advice from other local institutions. Tulane University, which had used a Sprung structure at one time, recommended Sprung based on the outstanding service the school had received.
HOW SPRUNG DELIVERED
Sprung provided a 60’ x 105’ structure to serve as UL Lafayette’s interim bookstore. The location for the temporary facility was a parking lot surrounded by a bank, a restaurant, an independent bookstore and a 150-year-old tree. Custom-designed to fit perfectly within this unique site, the Sprung structure was attached to two of its neighboring buildings, allowing for ease of access among students and staff.
The fully insulated structure also featured a two-story layout, an interior service elevator and ample clear-span space to accommodate bookshelves, display tables, checkout areas and more.
