Gordon Reed will be retiring from Facilities Services the end of June 2017. Gordon has been an exemplary team player, hard worker and friend to all in Facilities Services for over 13 years. Gordon’s knowledge of the campus, buildings, and especially mechanical systems are truly impressive and his expertise will be sorely missed. More importantly, though, Gordon possesses the distinctive ability to serve his clients (whether they be internal or external to Facilities Services) with a work ethic and results that culminate in successful outcomes for everyone. Please join us in congratulating Gordon on a job well done and extending good wishes as he moves into this next chapter of life. We will hold an informal party Thursday, June 28, 2-4 p.m. in the ‘Big Room’ in the McCluskey Services Building.
