The Shop at the CAC New Orleans
The Shop – CAC New Orleans
The Shop is a comprehensive co-working development at the Contemporary Arts Center, New Orleans (CAC). Targeting technology, arts, and cultural-based businesses; The Shop serves as a hub of entrepreneurship in the developing Downtown innovation corridor.
Expanding upon successful national co-working models, The Shop is designed to provide valuable business and cultural programming and services to tenants in addition to the features, amenities, membership packages, and benefits that form the cornerstones of a functional coworking space. It occupies the third and fourth floors of the CAC, connected by an open architectural staircase and featuring an extensive amenity and commons area, varied meeting and office space, and a roof deck.
This renovation preserves the classic Warehouse District architecture of the existing building while incorporating modern elements. The light-filled space features high ceilings with exposed beams, large windows, a contemporary art collection, and a flowing, open floor plan.
The heart of The Shop is the commons area designed to facilitate conversation and connection. It boasts a full kitchen, seating options, coffee station, snacks available for purchase, with communal and recreational space. All of The Shop’s amenities have been designed to offer small businesses, entrepreneurs, and arts-based professionals the resources they need to grow.
Drawing from the inspiration of the CAC itself, custom murals were commissioned throughout the space. Local and national artists were brought in to adorn the walls; connecting the co-working tenants with the art community.
With its proximity to acclaimed museums and galleries, new developments like the nearby South Market District and Ace Hotel, and some of the best restaurants, shops, entertainment venues and residences in New Orleans, The Shop is primed to become a catalyst for innovative thinking and strategic partnerships that will continue to transform Downtown into a thriving urban center.
