Next stop on our tour: the American Can Apartments & Retail Shops on Bayou St. John. Built in 1906, the American Can Company once produced over 55 million cans a year and employed 1,500 New Orleanians at its peak before it closed in 1988.

Gibbs Construction partnered with HRI/HCI to bring this National Park Service-recognized historic landmark back to life in 2001, restoring windows, masonry, concrete, and the original site lines across the six-building campus. Custom sashes and frame parts were fabricated to match 100-year-old originals, right down to steel window muntins sourced from across the country.

The result: 268 apartments, a pool, and a courtyard, all delivered ahead of schedule and under budget through true teamwork with our subcontractors and suppliers.

Gibbs Construction is proud to have been part of this special project, the renovation and restoration of Chapel of the Immaculate Conception at Notre Dame Seminary. The project involved meticulous specialized painting, conducted by Conrad Schmitt Studios, that now graces the breathtaking 50-foot cathedral ceilings, showcasing intricate details that honor the Chapel’s sacred beauty. Additionally, we completed a restoration of the altar, ensuring the historical and religious significance was preserved. Serving as the General Contractor for this project, our team utilized six-story-high scaffolding to safely and skillfully execute this work. This project is a testament to our expertise in historical restoration and attention to religious detail. We are honored to contribute to preserving such an iconic and cherished landmark in New Orleans.

This month we're also celebrating Carpenter Darin Callen's 15th anniversary with Gibbs Construction! Since joining Team Gibbs 15 years ago he's become one of the steady hands our teams rely on, bringing skill, precision, and hard-earned experience to every project he touches.

Over his time at Gibbs, Darin has helped bring countless projects to life across the New Orleans area, always with the same quiet dedication and craftsmanship. As we celebrate 50 years of Gibbs this year, we're proud to celebrate 15 of them alongside Darin.

Next up on our tour: the Bell Artspace Campus in Treme. This $25 million adaptive reuse project transformed 108,000 square feet across the former Andrew J. Bell and Ben Franklin schools into 79 affordable live-work units for local artists, cultural workers, and families.

The Bell School's Gothic main building dates to 1904, originally home to St. Joseph's Academy. Just next door sits the campus's oldest structure, a circa-1887 Gothic chapel modeled after a church in Bourg, France, now reimagined as 7,000 square feet of community and arts space. The 1927 Ben Franklin building rounds out the campus with 23 units that pair original exposed brick and high ceilings with modern amenities.

Vacant for 13 years before this project, the campus is now home to a thriving community, proof that historic preservation and neighborhood revitalization go hand in hand.

Fifteen years ago, Lauren Gibbs joined her father, founder Larry Gibbs, in the family business. Since then, she's served as estimator, project coordinator, project engineer, project manager, and executive in charge, before being named Vice President in 2017 and CEO in 2019, when she bought the company from Larry himself.

Under her leadership, Lauren has guided Gibbs through a pandemic, a hurricane, and more, all while growing the company and building a culture that encourages every team member to be autonomous, freethinking, and entrepreneurial. This year, as Gibbs celebrates 50 years in business, that vision carries forward stronger than ever.

Lauren, thank you for your leadership, your vision, and 15 years of dedication to Gibbs and building the the company into what it is today.
