LaHouse is a display of high-performance building practices to create more sustainable, resilient and healthy homes in the gulf region. The research-based facility is located on LSU's Baton Rouge campus and displays home-building techniques and solutions for Louisiana's unique climate. LaHouse is open weekdays from 10 am to 4:30 p.m. for self-guided tours or can be toured completely virtually.

Stacked closets sized for retrofit elevator

The hall closet is located directly below the second-floor closet to allow an elevator to be added if needed. People with limited mobility may find it difficult to go upstairs safely, and an elevator can ensure access to all home parts as they age.

There is space in the attic for the motor or the elevator to go.
