The Louisiana Business and Technology Center at LSU’s E. J.
Ourso College of Business was recently presented
with the 2006 Excalibur Award from the Association
of University Research Parks. This marks the first
Excalibur Award to ever be presented.
The LBTC was awarded this honor for the leadership
it displayed during the post-Katrina and Rita
period. The LBTC housed numerous technology companies
displaced by both hurricanes.
The research park received companies from the
University of New Orleans and the LSU School of
Dentistry business recovery centers from federal
agencies. Additionally, the research park housed
hundreds of emergency workers in the days following
Hurricane Katrina.
