Lyons & Hudson established at the time of its formation in 1973 two major goals of the firm:
design and technical expertise.

The philosophy established in 1973 has guided the firm to a position of strength with capability for execution of large and various building types.  Our experience includes major hospital projects, laboratory research facilities, diagnostic and evaluation facilities, student housing, office buildings, libraries, restaurant facilities, hotels and schools.  Our firm has extensive experience in a wide variety of renovation and restoration projects, including the Orpheum Theatre for the New Orleans Symphony and the Wildlife and Fisheries Building for the higher courts of the State of Louisiana.  Such renovation projects require extensive knowledge of older building techniques, as well as knowledge of current technology and its applicability to the preservation of such historic buildings.

With excellence in design as one of our major goals the firm has received numerous local and national awards.  We are recognized not only by our peers through receipt of awards but by the community as well, through design critics of newspapers, civic groups and individuals.  We have been honored for both new construction and renovation of historic buildings.
 

Additionally, maintaining a high standard of technical competency as our other major goal has enabled the firm to earn the respect of the construction industry due to the thoroughness of our construction documents and due to our responsiveness during the actual construction of our projects.  Years of experience, extending from the early 1960s, in production, writing of specifications, and contract administration has enabled Lyons & Hudson to consistently produce well-designed projects on budget and on schedule.

Our firm maintains current programs of computer word processing, Ventura Publishing and AutoCAD to utilize as the client may request and as the particular project may warrant.

To ensure that the established goals at Lyons & Hudson are achieved, each project is executed under the direction of either Alfred G. Lyons or W. Jerry Hudson.  This consistent personalized service forms the basis for development of our philosophy.
