From The Baton Rouge Advocate: Louisiana State University’s planned Digital Media Facility may soon become the new home for video game developer, Electronic Arts, and the university’s computer and technology research on campus. The LSU Board of Supervisors is expected to sign off on a $30 million, 94,000-square-foot project to be built on the southeast corner of the Baton Rouge campus near the existing Louisiana Emerging Technology Center. Construction is expected to begin this summer and the facility should open in late summer or fall 2012.
