Corporate but fun
More then 2,000 Northern Arizona University students taking business classes will begin the second semester in a new building today, a structure that is unlike any other on campus. The building is designed to let in natural light during a sunny day, reducing the need for artificial lights, in part because of a study that Mason Gerety, dean of the College of Business Administration, said found that people retain more of what they learn under natural light.
