Physical Plant Finishing Shop

Thank you, Dominic Desano and Jamie Kruger for making a new dispatch board for Truck Services! The board itself is BEAUTIFUL and all the signage is just what I wanted. Jamie was very patient with all my “Oh, and can I have this too?” moments. Love the work they both did.

Shout out to Brad Schenkel and team, Scott Henderson, Ross Berge, David Skuban, Mohammed El Hallaoui, Scott Hewitt and Jared Martin for creative thinking on window cleaning with drones. I know there are more steps to make it happen but great job on the creative problem solving.

Ben and Travis at UW Steamfitter Shop

I wanted to give a big shout out to Ben and Travis from the Steamfitters Shop. We had a cold room go down on Friday of Memorial Day weekend and having only 2 operating ones, it’s very important to keep them both running. Ben was able to get over that morning and do diagnostics on it. Found the issue with the compressor and got one ordered that morning. Travis stopped by the next week to scope the job out and let me know the compressor was in and that they would be installing it very soon.

As a facility manager, it is so nice to have quality people that work here on campus that understand how important supporting research is and that we don’t have to wait days for an outsider contractor to show up. Thank you both for your professionalism and dedication.
