Baton Rouge Emergency Medical Services Headquarters / Remson|Haley|Herpin Architects

Javier Gaete — Mon, 02 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0000

This new $8.5M, 30,000 SF Headquarters for East Baton Rouge Parish Emergency Medical Services was completed in March 2013. It consolidates many diverse functions into a clearly-organized facility optimized to enhance their important needs and mission: administration, operations, education, and supply storage. An important aspect of the mission of EMS is public outreach – needing to maintain program visibility and access to general public (including school children) for educational programs was vital, all the while creating a secure and productive working environment for the 25 employees that are housed here daily.

After a successful effort to save the crumbling Baton Rouge High School building from certain demolition, the architects were served a set of seemingly incompatible mandates. The first directive was to preserve the original 1927 structure with minimal visual alterations. The second requirement was to expand the campus from about 100,000 sf to 300,000 sf. The third was to preserve and maintain the large, oak-filled front lawn between the original building and street. Clearly, to triple the size of the facilities within a small, landlocked campus would be difficult even without the scrutiny of a passionate and very vocal group of alumni and concerned citizens.
