We sometimes fail to remember the large number of individuals who work day in and day out so that we have a great institution to come to and to call home. We want to give the Physical Plant staff a special place in our magazine, and an extra thanks for all of their efforts on our behalf! The Physical Plant is comprised of Maintenance, Housekeeping, Grounds, and Horticulture.
