NEW ORLEANS – The Leona Tate Foundation for Change, Inc. has opened “The Principal’s Office,” a permanent new exhibit at the Tate, Etienne, and Prevost (TEP) Interpretive Center.

The fabrication of “The Principal’s Office” was spearheaded by Downtown FabWorks, a New Orleans–based scenic and architectural fabrication firm that delivers custom experiential fabrication and technical design for live events, brand activations, educational displays, and immersive exhibits across the U.S.

Through experiential fabrication techniques, the team transformed historical narrative into a tactile, real-world experience designed to immerse visitors in the story.

The result is a vivid, multi-layered environment that includes:

• two large exterior banners which they say ground the building in its historic meaning;
• interior panels and glass window graphics incorporating 1960s-era headlines, photographs, and imagery from the first day of integration;
• a tactile hopscotch installation at the principal’s office;
• a permanent wall installation introducing Leona Tate, Gail Etienne, and Tessie Prevost; and
• layered narrative banners and spatial graphics that guide visitors through the space.

The exhibit was originally designed by Gallagher & Associates (G&A) which helped shape the conceptual foundation that FabWorks brought to life through high-impact museum exhibit fabrication.
