The Advocate Office Building is LEMOINE’s third project for The Advocate Newspaper. The first two projects, The Advocate Administrative Offices and the Reiger Production Facility, were contracted by the Manship Family. The new Advocate office building was constructed for new owner John Georges, successful businessman from New Orleans. Mr. Georges purchased the newspaper from the Manship family in May of 2013 and announced his plans for a new office building in early 2014.
The design-build project consists of a 3-story steel structure with primarily glass and stucco exterior finishes. The exterior curtain wall is accented with color programmable LED lights that can be adjusted for either the season or athletic team of the week. The third floor houses the news room along with the executive suite that overlooks I-10.
