Lakehead Maintenance Engineer Greg Kenna Plays Role in International Training
Recently, Greg Kenna, Maintenance Engineer with Lakehead
University's Physical Plant, was asked by his head union office,
located in Washington D.C., to review the Union's online training
material which is used to train Operating Engineers in the United
States. The Union hoped to acquire Canadian input as its instructional
training material was being reviewed for the first time in more than 10
years. Greg gladly accepted the invitation, and later reviewed and
provided information (via question and answer format) on the topic of
indoor air quality control - a very popular topic today given the rapid
changes in building construction over the last decade. Greg's input
will be used online as a means of training American students.
American students who will benefit from the information Greg provided also had the chance to view a slide show of Lakehead University and saw what it has to offer. Some slide show images included Lakehead's new entrance signs, various external shots of campus buildings, old and new mechanical systems, and Lakehead's centrally controlled Building Automation Computer System, located in the Power House.
Greg's
American counterparts admitted that although they have very unique
buildings in the U.S., they were very impressed with the beauty of
Lakehead's campus - particularly with the ATAC. They were "blown away"
by an evening photo of the ATAC, taken by Peter Puna, and said they
have never seen such a beautiful building.
