The country’s first major center dedicated to the study of coastal restoration and sustainability, The Water Campus is rising on 35 acres along the Mississippi next to downtown Baton Rouge. Thousands of research scientists, water management professionals, contractors and support staff fill more than 1.6 million square feet of labs, research facilities and commercial space. Working together they strive to carry out their vital work in a collaborative environment – studying coastal threats, formulating theories, exchanging ideas, and cooperating further to arrive at innovative solutions that might never be possible working alone.
The Water Campus is for more than just science and engineering. Other types of firms are calling The Water Campus home, taking advantage of its riverfront location next to existing employment centers, alternative transportation and an unburdened road network.
