Louisiana Economic Development Welcome Center & Offices
Louisiana Economic Development Welcome Center (LED) is dedicated to fostering growth, innovation, and connection across the state, supporting businesses, communities, and workforce development initiatives that drive long-term economic progress. The Louisiana Economic Development Welcome Center was designed by KV Workspace in collaboration with Hoffpauir Studio and CDI Solutions to reflect this mission as a dynamic, public-facing environment that serves as a first point of engagement for visitors, partners, and stakeholders. The space balances transparency and structure to create a welcoming, professional setting that mirrors LED’s role as a catalyst for economic opportunity. Open lounge and touchdown areas were intentionally incorporated to encourage informal collaboration, conversation, and relationship-building, reinforcing the organization’s emphasis on accessibility and partnership. Simple, modern lines paired with a light, open palette establish an environment that feels both approachable and forward-looking, aligning with LED’s commitment to progress and statewide impact.
In addition to the Welcome Center, KV Workspace furnished Louisiana Economic Development’s administrative offices located on the 7th and 9th floors of a separate building. These office environments support the daily operations behind the agency’s public mission and include private offices, open workstations, breakroom seating, and multiple lounge areas designed to accommodate focused work, collaboration, and employee comfort. Together, the Welcome Center and office spaces create a cohesive workplace ecosystem that reflects LED’s values of connection, adaptability, and thoughtful growth.

I cannot say enough about the team at KV Workspace. From the sales and design consultants to the admin team; from the installation coordinator to the final walk through; everyone on the team is very professional, knowledgeable, on task, forward thinking, readily available, and truly a pleasure to work with.
We purchased office cubicles from KV Workspace. The entire experience, from our consultation with the account executive to the actual installation was flawless and stress free. They helped us design the workstations that fit perfectly into our available space, and the knowledgeable and professional installation team had us good to go with minimal down time. I would highly recommend KV Workspace for anyone setting up a new office or looking to redesign their current office space.
What we most appreciate when working with KV Workspace is their holistic approach to our projects. They seek to understand the workflow and dynamics of our business culture, matching furniture, function, and aesthetics to best unite our business units and increase performance.
The KV Workspace team has consistently provided The Times-Picayune with professional services and innovative solutions to accomplish our projects goals. As always, time is of the essence and staying within budget can be very challenging, but KV Workspace has proven time and time again that they are up for the challenge and can meet our needs.
KV Workspace was first involved in remodeling our conference rooms and two of our executive offices. They worked very hard to provide us with design and furniture options for our space and we were pleased with the outcome. We contacted them again when remodeling our corporate service center and our break room area. KV Workspace assessed the areas and needs and provided results that were functional and very pleasing aesthetically. KV Workspace provided the expertise and know-how on the design, planning and completion of the projects on schedule and within our budget.
“I have worked with Kris and her staff for over 8 years on small as well as large projects. Kris is always a step ahead of you, keeping the project on track and keeping you, the client, well informed as to the progress. She is quick to pick up on your personality – likes and dislikes – and guides the client in a very professional manner to make the right design choices. It is a joy to work with Kris and her staff.”
