Yesterday was National Dog Day, but Graham was saving his main character energy for the real celebration: his birthday. 🎂🐾

Around here, Graham isn’t just the office dog. He’s the unofficial supervisor, meeting crasher, snack inspector and center of attention whether we planned it that way or not.

Happy Birthday to the goodest boy and the one who makes every day at TBA a little more entertaining. National Dog Day may have been yesterday, but today is all about Graham. 💚

A new space for the Patriots!

The new West Ridge Middle School Multipurpose Gym was designed to be much more than an athletic space. Featuring a half-court gym, motorized basketball goals, a concession area, and a stage, the facility gives the Patriots a flexible new space for athletics, school functions, performances, and community events.

Large windows bring natural light into the gym, while exterior materials complement the existing campus and make the addition feel right at home at West Ridge.

We’re excited to see this new space serving West Ridge Middle School and Ouachita Parish Schools for years to come.

A first look at what’s ahead for Richwood!

Plans are taking shape for the new Richwood Upper Elementary School, designed to complement the neighboring Richwood Middle and High School campuses while creating a modern learning environment for students in grades 3–5.

We’re excited to see this project moving forward and grateful for our continued partnership with Ouachita Parish Schools as we help create spaces that will serve Richwood students and families for years to come.

This summer, we have been fortunate to have four outstanding interns on the TBA Studio team: Mallory, Kamryn, Emily, and, of course, our self-appointed "Chief Intern," Gabi.

Over the past few months, they've brought fresh perspectives, strong work ethics, and a willingness to learn that has made a real impact to our West Monroe office. We've truly enjoyed watching them grow while gaining hands-on experience in the architecture and design industry.

As summer comes to a close, some of our interns are heading back to campus while others will continue working with us throughout the school year. No matter where the next few months take them, we're grateful for everything Mallory, Kamryn, Emily, and Gabi have contributed and are excited to see what the future holds for each of them.

Thank you all for a great summer—we're lucky to have you as part of the TBA team!

There’s something special about designing for a place that helped shape so many members of our own team.

The Origin Bank Center for Student-Athlete Success is getting closer to the finish line, and we’re excited to see this new addition to Joe Aillet Stadium taking shape. With so many Louisiana Tech alumni on our team, projects on this campus always hit a little closer to home.

Thanks for the shout-out, City of Ruston!

After the original University of Louisiana Monroe Child Development Center was lost to a fire, our team was tasked with designing a new facility on the same site. The new center is located where the previous building once stood and includes classrooms, a multipurpose room, office space, and a small kitchen to serve the building. The exterior design draws inspiration from the surrounding campus, incorporating familiar materials such as brick and metal panels. We’re excited for construction to kick off soon!

Architecture meets Louisiana culture. Our interns transformed everyday material samples into a seafood boil masterpiece, proving that creativity can be found in every corner of the studio.
