Brother Martin High School Baseball Batting Facility

The new baseball batting facility for Brother Martin High School in New Orleans marks a significant enhancement to the school’s sports infrastructure. The covered facility, spanning 3,800 sq. ft., includes three expansive 70-foot-long pitching and batting lanes. These lanes are designed for versatile use and easily subdivided into six shorter lane conditions. This flexibility ensures that the facility can cater to various training needs.

Strategically positioned beyond left field of Brother Martin’s Farley Field, the new structure offers direct access to the home team dugout and bullpen areas.

This new covered facility ensures the Brother Martin Crusaders can continue their practice sessions beyond daylight hours and during inclement weather.

Chappapeela Sports Park

The project consists of multiple buildings for a newly developing multi-discipline 80-acre sports and recreation complex. A double gymnasium with administration areas, concessions and classroom facilities is situated at the entry to the complex, establishing an axis through the development. Multiple concessions and restroom combination facilities are designed to create visual way finding cues along this access. A maintenance building was designed to accommodate all of the grounds-keeping needs.

H/S has been heavily involved in the design of the fields and grounds, which includes sports fields for football, soccer, baseball, volleyball, and a Splash Park.

Ponchatoula Area Recreational District Gymnasium

The Ponchatoula Area Recreation District (PARD) Double Gym provides a location for youth sporting events as well as community social functions. The 33,979 sq. ft. building consists of athletic courts that can be configured to be either two full-size basketball or volleyball courts, or four youth size basketball courts, administrative offices, a large conference room, and a concession area. The double-height entry lobby space offers direct access to the courts, the administrative areas, and stairs leading to a second-floor running track located around the perimeter of the basketball courts below.

In 2020, PARD expanded the number of indoor basketball and volleyball courts they currently have with a new 19,500 sq. ft. double gym. This new facility also contains restrooms, a separate lobby, and storage rooms. The new overflow gymnasium was also designed by H/S and is directly attached to the existing structure and matches the existing building’s materials, height, and structure.

An entrance lobby, conference room, offices, and concession stand were added along with support spaces such as storage, restrooms, HVAC, and mechanical. The new double gymnasium is constructed of a metal building structure and features 2 full-size basketball courts, 8 youth courts, and 4 volleyball courts. Telescopic bleachers, a recessed wood sports floor, and retractable basketball goals are included in the space.
