Jay Chase

Jay Chase is a licensed architect who has more than 35 years of experience shaping the built environment. In the years that followed Hurricane Katrina, he focused much of his practice on designing fire stations across the Gulf South, working closely with first-responder agencies to deliver facilities that are engineered for resiliency, including hardened against storm surge and high winds, equipped to remain operational when surrounding infrastructure fails, and detailed to serve the firefighters who live and work in them around the clock. Chase’s broader portfolio spans commercial, corporate and civic projects. He is the founder and principal of Chase Marshall Architects, which has offices in New Orleans and Lafayette, LA.
