Baton Rouge Municipal Dock / Trahan Architects

Southwest View © Trahan Architects

Trahan Architects have shared their plans to completely transform an existing Municipal Dock into a mixed-use development. The dock is nestled between LSU and Downtown Baton Rouge – an emerging pedestrian thoroughfare that is full of potential for future public infrastructure developments – and Trahan’s vision will further activate the growing connection between these urban areas in Louisiana.

More images, great diagrams and more about the project after the break.

Historically, the dock enabled ocean-going vessels to off-load heavy cargo onto barges for upriver transport, or to rail for inland shipment through Baton Rouge.   However, with the interstate system of 1968, the dock soon became an outdated entity, quickly replaced by the ease of trucking freight.
