From Crain's Chicago Business January 17, 2019 Lisa Bertagnoli The Keller Center The Keller Center, the new home of Harris Public Policy, was featured in Crain's Chicago Business. "One standout: honey-colored wood panels that hang in baffles overhead and garnish the seating area of the forum. The panels come from trees felled by the emerald ash borer," the article says. "The city of Chicago donated the trees to Gates, who in turn decided to use them for the building. He hired local residents to help mill the trees, and bought a mill with a grant from the Ford Foundation." Full coverage available at Crain's Chicago Business.
