Louisiana Cancer Research Center Walk-Through

If you have driven to or from the Quarter recently you may have noticed a building just off I-10 that doesn't quite fit the typical New Orleans architecture. This sleek and modern building is the home of the new Louisiana Cancer Research Center.

This week I had the opportunity to tour the Louisiana Cancer Research Center. My first visit was on Monday where Ann, several board members, and I were taken on a full tour of the facility. Not only did we get to see the general public areas and offices, but the labs as well. I've personally never spent more than a few hours in a lab, but found the logic and design process that went into building them fascinating.

Today, Ronald, Ann, and I met with an event planner to discuss the general set up for the grand opening celebration set for mid October. Unfortunately, I will not be here for the event, but I think everyone will be impressed with what a great addition this facility will be to the community.

Next week should be another busy week with the kick off of our House of Blues and Second Harvest projects!
