The Lighthouse Lays Off Half Its Staff, Now Controlled by Adminstrators

Following our story from Tuesday about Scotland’s national design and architecture center, The Lighthouse, currently in the same dire financial straights it was in last year before it was bailed out, it looks like it’s the beginning of the end, or at least a very serious bloodletting with the hopes that maybe somehow it can survive trimmed way, way back. Following a board meeting earlier this week, the organization has resorted to desperate measures, announing that it has laid off half its staff and will now be controlled by PricewaterhouseCoopers, to see if things are in any way salvageable.
