September Construction Update

Hi neighbors, Just wanted to give an update on what we’ve been working on this past month at 2317 Burgundy. (For those new to the forum, this is the renovation of the former Catholic school/church campus into a hotel on Burgundy St between Marigny & Mandeville.) Over the past few months, we’ve mostly focused on the school building, but we are now starting to turn our attention to the rectory and convent. ACCOMPLISHED Completion of north wall and enclosures for chiller, generator, dumpster and transformer Structural framing of school 1st and 2nd floor guest rooms Window repair and reinstallation at school 2nd and 3rd floors (they look fantastic) Mechanical, plumbing and electrical at school 1st floor Elevator shaft built Repair of termite-damaged beams in school (substantial!) UPCOMING Structural framing of school 3rd and 4th floor guest rooms Masonry cleaning and repointing (this will go on until next summer) Foundation repair at rectory Disassembly and repair of convent siding and windows Structural framing at convent We are still on schedule with anticipated completion date of late summer/fall 2018. You can always reach me with any questions at stpeterandpaulfeedback@gmail.com or on my cell at 504.715.7142. Best Nathalie
