We're excited to announce a partnership with Durand Builders, LLC to build a multi-unit apartment complex on the north edge of campus.

With on-campus housing at full capacity for nearly five years, this project directly addresses our most pressing need. This complex will include 176 two-bedroom units and accommodate up to 352 residents.

The apartment community will be privately managed but will prioritize LSUA students, faculty, and staff through favorable leasing terms. It's a major step forward in enhancing campus life and supporting our growth.

Construction will take place on a portion of the current Plantation Oaks Golf Course, and the last day to play golf at LSUA's golf course will be Sunday, June 1, 2025.

We're excited for what's ahead and grateful for community partnerships that support a vibrant and thriving LSUA.
