Lillis Business Complex
A Building with Values
 The Lillis Business Complex consists of Lillis, Gilbert, Peterson, and Chiles
Halls. Brand-new Lillis Hall with its airy atrium is an architectural marvel
and the 'greenest' public building in Oregon. LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design)-certified, it incorporates the latest in energy-saving
technology and environmentally-friendly building design:
- Photo-voltaic cells built into the southern glass façade generate electricity
that is fed back into the grid.
- Extra thermal mass reduces need for heating and cooling.
- Shades, reflectors, and fans automatically regulate lighting and ventilation to help minimize energy usage.
- Energy-efficient light fixtures.
- Sensors turn off lights and appliances when not needed.
- Some of the building materials were recycled from its demolished predecessor.
- Others, such as the floor coverings, are recyclable.
The new building embodies what our school and program stand for: ethical leadership, responsible stewardship, communal accountability, and practical application-in short, sustainable business.
 Pedagogically, too, the new building reflects our values:
- Computing connectivity is wireless throughout.
- Classrooms boast the latest in audio-visual advances.
- Classrooms and labs are properly configured for lectures, case discussions, hands-on-projects, or break-out sessions.
- Learning centers furnish group work spaces as well as opportunities for interacting with faculty.
- Informal seating and study areas are located throughout the building and outside.
- MBA students have their own lounge.
- The first-floor Lillis Café is another favorite student hangout.
