ESTUARINE HABITATS AND COASTAL FISHERIES CENTER

Lafayette, LA

CBB provided a comprehensive lighting solution for this state-of-the-art, government science and research facility. The building houses ecology, chemistry, genetics and necropsy laboratories, in addition to a seawater lab for live animal culture.

Night imagery lighting evokes the cool hues of the building’s marine environment and complements the adjacent USGS National Wetlands Research Center. Interior lighting provides bright, even illumination for dry and wet labs, computer rooms, and an interpretative center and gallery.
