Woodward is working on a $30 million renovation to St. Tammany Parish Hospital. Past Northshore projects include the Southern Hotel in Covington, and the Mandeville Walker Motors Volkswagen. Woodward also operates a 20,000-square-foot architectural millwork facility in Goodbee, La.. 

“We are aware that post pandemic employee needs have shifted drastically, which now necessitates additional office locations,” said Louque. “Woodward embraces finding ways to create supportive work environments for employees that foster efficiency and productivity, while also being conducive to a high quality of life.”

“Woodward making the decision to open a Northshore office shows that they care for their employees,” said Royce Girouard, a project manager for the company and a Northshore resident. “It allows for more family time by cutting the work commute from two hours per day down to 20 minutes per day.”
