Lazzie Dog Storefront Collection

The Lazarus Building mascot, Lazzie Dog, needs a wardrobe and some accessories!  Lazzie is a 7-foot-tall hard plastic dog who has emerged from the old department store attic to stand guard in the High Street storefront windows.  Anyone may submit a design proposal for their addition to Lazzie's collection of wearable wardrobe or stand-alone accessories.  Creativity and use of found objects is encouraged to accompany the Green missions of the building, and since no funding will be available to selected projects. Please send your name, email address and proposal to uas@osu.edu with the subject line, "Lazzie Dog".
