In early 2025, as part of the ongoing Light Up Lafayette Street initiative, DDD partnered with Entergy to install new creative light projectors at Energy Centre Plaza—the pedestrian mall on Lafayette Street at Loyola Avenue.
Designed by Studio West and installed by All Star Electric, the Light Up Lafayette Street Project aims to transform the Lafayette Street corridor by implementing an engaging and security-enhancing lighting installation. This initiative is designed to address safety concerns, increase the street’s visual appeal, and create an inviting atmosphere for pedestrians. Light projectors were installed on 7 light poles and project green magnolia leaves in various shapes and sizes on the sidewalk. The long-term vision is to continue this installation along the full length of Lafayette Street.
“Entergy New Orleans is proud to support the Downtown Development District’s lighting installation at Energy Centre Plaza,” said Deanna Rodriguez, President & CEO of Entergy New Orleans. “This initiative not only enhances the beauty of the CBD but also strengthens public safety. New Orleans is our home, and we are committed to investing in a safer, more vibrant city.”
