Join Beth Peiffer from Ralph E Jones Inc at the IFMA Central PA meeting at Beaver Stadium on Wed. 11/11

Learn what it takes to run the 4th largest capacity stadium in the world from Terry Hansel, Project Coordinator, Design & Construction, Penn State University. This facility management focused operational discussion includes behind the scenes tour of Beaver Stadium. As FM’s know, it is critical to be prepared for the various unexpected surprises that may occur at facilities. Learn some of the details how PSU FM’s handle those surprises any football Saturday at Beaver Stadium.

A second presentation by the Penn State Facilities Engineering Institute will focus on the benefits of opening up your facility doors to a third party design professional to conduct a comprehensive facility condition assessment. Nobody knows the condition and functionality of a facility better than the facility manager but you may often find yourself answering the following questions after submitting a capital budget plan to the CEO: “How did you determine which projects made it on this capital budget plan? Will this budget keep the condition of our facility at the desired level? Are these construction estimates accurate?”

Check out the website for all the details. The program runs from 11:00 AM until 2:30 PM and lunch will be provided.
