New digs

Dennis Camardelle with Fisk Electric surveys plans in the new School of Social Work location at 127 Elk Place in downtown New Orleans. The former Elks Lodge will house state-of-the-art classrooms for social work students when it opens in August.

Social Work dean Ron Marks checks out his new office during a tour of the building on Wednesday (June 18).

Architectural details abound on the building, which was constructed in 1917.
