AQ Studios

A new chapter is taking shape for Hoist & Crane Service Group's corporate headquarters and national training facility in Harahan, Louisiana.

AQ Studios recently completed design for the 24,756 SF renovation, which will transform the facility with an expanded lobby, refreshed workspaces, enhanced employee amenities, upgraded training areas, and a renewed building exterior that better reflects the company’s brand.

By creating a stronger sense of arrival and modernized facilities for employees traveling from across the nation, this renovation supports Hoist & Crane's continued investment in its people and operations. Construction is set to begin soon.

AQ Studios is proud to have provided architectural services for the South's only Biology-Guided Radiotherapy (BgRT) program, located at Ochsner Baptist - A Campus of Ochsner Medical Center.

This groundbreaking technology can improve treatment outcomes and reduce radiation side effects for patients by delivering a dose of radiation that tracks cancer as it is moving throughout the body.

We love working with clients who are on the cutting edge of their industries. Congratulations to Ochsner Health for bringing this innovative cancer treatment to patients throughout the Gulf South.

Congratulations to AQ Studios’ Architectural Intern, Danyia Johnston, on earning her Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies! Danyia brings fresh ideas, work ethic, and infectious energy to a wide range of AQ Studios projects, and we are proud to celebrate this exciting achievement. We look forward to seeing all that Danyia accomplishes in the future! 👏🎓
