Cutting-edge solar tech developed right here at WWU now installed in the Western Gallery
Two are yellow, two are orange, two are the shade of sunglasses, and at 4 by 4 feet, the new solar windows in the entryway of the Western Gallery are the largest of their kind ever installed.
They’re an accomplishment for Western, a landmark in a 12-year-old research effort involving faculty, students in several departments and a partnership with private industry. But more than that, they represent the beginning of a technology that could help free cities from dependence upon fossil fuels.

What happens when it snows at Western?
We had our first dusting of snow Monday morning, so it is the perfect time to review what happens at Western when the campus is on the receiving end of a significant snow event.
Western staffer Luke Hollister of University Relations and Marketing is out and about on campus and in the nearby community often, shooting images of campus and Bellingham life that we will share here in Western Today.
