The headquarters of the Louisiana Sheriff’s Association, completed in 2012, offer a unifying space for law enforcement leaders statewide. As such, the building’s architectural character had to reflect integrity and civic commitment. Grace Hebert Curtis Architects accomplished this design goal by creating a durable, modern facade that incorporates glass, metal panels and textured concrete block — communicating both strength and transparency.

Effective and efficient arrangement of the interior spaces was key to supporting the organization’s mission and activities. Reception and pre-function areas were placed adjacent to shared meeting spaces, while private offices support the delivery of first-rate services to association members. Offices and workspaces take advantage of natural light filtered through the continuous curtain wall, while sunscreens prevent excessive heat gain and glare.
