Facilities/Construction Management was determined to recognize their employees who contributed to the success of the FY21 academic year. Although gathering 400+ employees in one space was considered, it was determined the best option this year would be to continue to use a virtual setting.
During the spring, fellow staff members were able to nominate colleagues who they felt exceeded in their work this year. Nominations forms were available for both Individual Employee Excellence Nominations and Cross-Team Project Excellence Nominations.
The top nominated employee finalists were individually emailed to let them know they had been considered for the award. The finalist’s included: John Taylor, Hussain Alkinani, Lawrence Dang, Jennifer Brasher, Ed Mader, Jennifer McPhail, Wendy Byron, Anthony Davis, Woody Sutton, Willy Vazquez, and David Bergman.
During the F/CM 2021 Kick-Off & Appreciation event in September, Associate Vice Chancellor/Associate Vice President David Oliver announced the four award winners.
The Building Futures Employee award was given to Application Developer 3 Lawrence Dang for his work on adjusting the Work Order software, the backbone of the department’s operational processing, and preparing for the future development of the department’s upcoming changes.
The Maintaining Excellence Employee award was presented to Elevator Supervisor John Taylor for his dedication and commitment to helping the university, supporting his colleagues and always maintaining an excellent attitude.
The PMWeb Implementation Team was awarded the Building Futures Cross-Team award for their work on tenaciously devoting their time and efforts towards this initiative.
The General Maintenance Restroom Installation team were the winners of the Maintaining Excellence Team award in recognition for their work installing touchless faucets, touchless paper towel dispensers and foot pulls for the restroom doors all across campus.
Facilities/Construction Management continues to encourage all of its employees to build futures and maintain excellence throughout the year and looks forward to continuing this annual tradition.
