Renovation of a historic house on the campus of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette to accommodate the university’s Center for Louisiana Studies.

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette seeks funds to support the renovation of the historic J. Arthur Roy House, creating a new home for the Center for Louisiana Studies, an interdisciplinary, public-facing research center focused on Louisiana humanities. Situated at the gateway to the University’s campus, at one of the most prominent intersections in the city of Lafayette, this new location will greatly magnify the Center’s accessibility, visibility, functionality, and capacity as a central hub for the humanities in southwestern Louisiana.
