L.B. Landry School Algiers, LA – Cordova Stone
L.B. Landry High School, clad with Oldcastle® Cordova Stone™ pre-finished cast stone masonry units, was named by Architectural Record as one of the ten featured schools in their 2011 annual “Schools of the 21st Century,” a special report highlighting the best and brightest in planning and design for K-12 education facilities.
Located in Algiers, LA, with a picturesque view of the New Orleans skyline across the Mississippi River, L.B. Landry was a historically significant school destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, requiring complete demolition and replacement. In addition to state-of-the-art educational facilities, a vocational/technical center, and sports complexes, the 210,000 square foot school complex also houses a community health clinic.
