When LSU officials began thinking about the best place on campus to locate the $12 million Tiger Athletic Nutrition Center that was recently approved for construction by the LSU Board of Supervisors, they were immediately drawn to Nicholson Drive.
“From a proximity standpoint to our other athletic facilities, this was really one of the best locations we could place it on to have it be in a central point,” explains Eddie Nunez, LSU senior associate athletic director. “Plus, there’s been numerous studies by a number of groups that have looked at this whole Nicholson Drive Corridor plan, which includes everything from mixed-use developments to campus housing and retail, and we’ve always had a desire to have something within this corridor that would really be a landmark within all the development that’s eventually going to come to the area.”
