Boggs
Center for Energy and Biotechnology building was constructed
in 1987 and designed by architects Waldemar S. Nelson and
John Desmond and Associates. Its design makes reference to
architectural elements used in the older campus buildings,
but simplifies the detail and omits the middle scale elements.
It houses the School of
Engineering and 27 state of the art laboratories.
The building
is named in honor of Corinne “Lindy” Claiborne
Boggs, graduate of Newcomb College. Boggs was the first woman
from Louisiana to be elected to the U.S. House; elected to
her late husband Hale Boggs’ U.S. House of Representative
seat after his death in 1972.
