The Wall Street Journal Features the Lillis Business Complex
The Wall Street Journal's Nov. 12 Marketplace section featured a cover
story on the increasing use of daylight as an interior lighting source for new
buildings. The Lillis Business Complex was held up as a national example:
"One of the most ambitious projects involving daylight opened last month
at the University of Oregon's Charles H. Lundquist College of Business
in Eugene. The new Lillis Business Complex, as it's called, employs quiet
motorized shades, photo light sensors and a centralized computer 'brain' to
adjust to changing light conditions.
"Flipping a light switch in the classrooms, for example, activates sensors
that detect the ambient light and decide whether to strike the lights to full
power, adjust the shades to allow in more light, or both, depending on the weather
or time of day."
The story is accompanied by a photo of one of the Lillis Business Complex's
state-of-the-art classrooms.
The Wall Street Journal is one of America's leading daily newspapers,
with paid circulation of its print and online editions in excess of
2 million.
The Lillis Business Complex is the only certified environmentally-friendly
building at a top-ranked business school. The complex is home to the University
of Oregon's Charles H. Lundquist College of Business, which has earned national
recognition for the quality of its programs.
This year both U.S. News & World Report and Entrepreneur magazine
listed the college's Lundquist Center for Entrepreneurship as
one of the nation's best. Similarly, sports journalists across the country
recognize the college's Warsaw
Sports Marketing Center as the nation's leading sports business program.
