WT provided cost consulting services for the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans Master Plan, a comprehensive 25-year strategic vision for the development and renovation of the teams’ shared training facilities in Metairie, Louisiana. Collaborating with Gensler and Eskew Dumez Ripple, the master plan aimed to modernize and expand the existing Ochsner Sports Performance Center to meet evolving team needs and enhance operational efficiency.
The master plan encompassed various facility upgrades, including a significant expansion of the cafeteria from 6,000 to 14,000 square feet, enhancements to the weight room, locker rooms, and meeting spaces, as well as the addition of new amenities such as a barista station and outdoor patio seating. WT’s role involved providing detailed cost estimates and financial planning to support the phased implementation of these improvements, ensuring alignment with the teams’ long-term objectives and budgetary considerations.
