UL Lafayette also chose Carter to oversee the construction of a new 1,200-space mixed-use parking facility on the west side of campus. The facility will include 7,800 square feet of commercial space and 1,000 square feet of ground-level retail space, including a food service component. The Lemoine Co. will be the general contractor for this structure also, and Tim Haahs will serve as the architect. Carter expects to deliver the project in early 2015.
