Company opens new eco-friendly `campus'

September 17, 2005

BRATTLEBORO, Vt. --A maker of high-tech optical filters has opened a new corporate headquarters that it has planned as the centerpiece of a environmentally friendly, off-the-grid corporate campus.

"We are within one mile of Brattleboro's downtown, but at the same time completely isolated from the surrounding area," said Robert Johnson, who founded Omega Optical in 1969. "It's part of my concept that people perform the best when they are in a confined environment in concert with nature."

On Friday, the company invited the public to see its new 32,000-square-foot headquarters, and Johnson described plans to build space for seven new high-tech companies, 45 residential homes and a small college at his Delta Campus in the next few years.
