buildings continue to age. The project list for 2014-2015 is aggressive but will move us forward at a
rapid pace in continuing to grow student and faculty levels of satisfaction toward their institution.

With a change in staffing sustainability continues to be implemented with internal and capital funding.
A Certified Energy Manager has been hired by the college in the Director of Facilities Services position
which will help in the evaluation of new initiatives. The capital maintenance funding cycle continues to
be one of the major concerns, but use of other funds available has helped in moving forward with
sustainability.
