NOTE FROM CHIEF ENGINEER Dear Reader, The 2016 CSU Facilities Management Conference is fast approaching and we at P2S couldn’t be more excited. As one of the premiere higher education infrastructure design firms in California, we are proud sponsors of the conference and always look forward to this time of year with anticipation. The conference offers valuable insight on the CSU system’s vision for its facilities, showcases the newest education infrastructure and design trends and gives everyone the opportunity to reconnect with old friends. This year’s conference promises to be truly special with “Building a Sustainable Future”, as the theme, and the location at the Hyatt Regency in Indian Wells, California. In honor of the conference, we decided to make this special edition newsletter. Within it you’ll find interviews from our conference attendees and two project profiles of major infrastructure projects we’re currently working on for Cal State campuses. If you’d like to come and chat or just to say hello, we invite you to visit booth #210. I’ll be in attendance along with P2S VP of Education, Aravind Batra, Mechanical Engineer and Commissioning Agent, Gerry Massey, and Mechanical Engineer, Nathan Ho. While you’re at our booth you can discover new P2S projects, learn about our efficiency and sustainability initiatives, collect free goodies and sign up to enter our raffles. Go here for more information about the conference and to our website if you’d like more info about our firm. The conference kicks off on October 16th and runs through the 19th. Hope to see you in Indian Wells! Sincerely, Kent Peterson VP/Chief Engineer 3
