In Lafayette, Kent Design Build and Ochsner Health transform the former Daily Advertiser printing facility into a modern outpatient center—delivering a major healthcare renovation that expands access and strengthens community care.

From showroom to recovery center—what was once a Harley-Davidson dealership is becoming a state-of-the-art sports  performance and rehabilitation facility for North Oaks Health System. Designed for healing, built for impact.

Lafayette is growing—and so is Our Lady of Lourdes. Kent Design Build is proud to lead a multi-phase expansion adding ER exam rooms, surgical capacity, and clinical space. It’s more than construction. It’s a commitment to care, access, and the future of healthcare in Acadiana.

At Kent Design Build, we take pride in delivering healthcare construction that meets the evolving needs of local communities. Our work on the OUHC Bertrand renovation in Lafayette, Louisiana, is a prime example—transforming a legacy commercial site into a state-of-the-art facility for Ochsner University Hospital & Clinics.

At Kent Design Build, we create spaces that support healing, innovation, and care. Our latest healthcare projects, Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center and Lafayette General, highlight the expertise and precision that medical facilities demand. At Our Lady of Lourdes, our team worked within an active hospital, implementing STARC containment systems and negative pressure rooms to maintain infection control while seamlessly renovating third-floor patient spaces. Meanwhile, we took Lafayette General from vision to reality, delivering an 11,000 sq. ft. facility with three specialized medical suites.Every detail was designed with both patient experience and medical efficiency in mind.

Community growth requires continual improvement of patient access to medical evaluation and treatment. We recently completed a ground-up 11,000 sq ft medical facility in Broussard, Louisiana, to ensure medical access in this rapidly growing community. Before breaking ground on this project, we were approached by a local developer and repeat client for medical expertise from a design-assist and construction standpoint. After partnering with the local developer alongside the local hospital network and design team through preconstruction, we started this unique project last summer. Patient experience was at the forefront of planning and building this facility. This medical facility is separated into three different tenant spaces: an imaging suite, wellness suite, and internal medicine suite. With each suite serving different functions, each required unique attention to detail.
