F&B Award for Excellence Winner,

Arboretum Lifetime Winner, & More!

As one of ten nominators for Charles O’Neill

for the University’s Award for Excellence,

Zone Manager Carlos Gutierrez says,

“Charlie is an outstanding housekeeper. He

keeps the dorms up and running. Without him,

these dorms would be a mess, but that's why

we have him here to establish a good

environment. The nominations focused on the categories of

customer service, human relations, and the spirit of North

Carolina. Also, the RC Raulston Arboretum has recognized

Charles with their 2014 Lifetime Award.

SUMMER 2014

Message from Our Assistant Vice Chancellor

Change Before You Have To . . .

General Electric’s renowned former CEO has

become one of the most quoted business leaders in

our country today. Under his leadership, GE, a

mega international company that makes

everything from kitchen toasters to jet engines, was transformed

from a large bulky and entrenched company to one where

innovation, resourcefulness, employee ideas, and response to

customer needs are the driving forces.

Today, higher education, including the UNC system and

NC State University are under tremendous pressure to change

from a slow and resistant industry to one that is nimble and

responsive to changes in the needs of our students, both current

and future. There are certainly some things we can learn from Jack

Welch to help NC State and Facilities Operations become more

efficient and effective.

Mr. Welch said to “Control your own destiny or

someone else will.” It is highly probable that if we don’t take the

initiative and begin actions to control costs, reduce waste, utilize

our people’s talents better, and be better stewards of the NC

taxpayer’s dollar, others will tell us what to do . . . and we will

lose control of our own destiny. It’s our decision. We have the

people, the talent, and the knowledge to make it happen.

Let’s Do It!

Welch also said that “An organization’s ability to learn

and translate this learning into action rapidly, is the ultimate

competitive advantage.” Don’t fool yourself into thinking that

we are not in a competitive environment. Every day, we in

Facilities Operations are competing against other service providers

that say they can do the job cheaper and better than we

can. I don’t believe it……but every day we must prove

that we are more than competitive and that we provide

the best value to the University. Just like GE, we must

learn rapidly and put this new learning to work to keep

our advantage. Innovations such as mobile work

dispatching, energy management, building automation

and commissioning, sustainable operations, and web

site development are all ways that we are keeping our

advantage.

As we close this fiscal year and look forward to

a new year starting this August, let’s keep Jack Welch’s

quotes in mind as we all work to be competitive and

WolfPack strong! Have a great summer.

An Appreciation Letter from A Student Resident

I have lived in Syme Hall for almost three years now

and Charlie O'Neill has been there for me all this time. When I

came to college, my idea of a housekeeper was someone who

cleans the messes of others. Charlie quickly changed my simple

definition of housekeeping because he gave the role more value.

This is because Charlie makes an effort to know the residents

on a personal level. Often if I am having a bad day, he will ask

about my life and cheer me up every time. He also memorizes

which cars belong to different residents, and if you forget to

move your car from Baver in the morning, he will find you, in

time for you to move your car. I've seen him do this on

countless occasions. He cleans, he checks in on you, and he

cares. He contributes to creating a community that people feel

comfortable calling home. He shows us how to appreciate our

halls and our community. He knows our names, our schedules,

and what makes us smile. Charlie O'Neill is one of the major

reasons I return to Syme Hall each year.

JANUARY—MARCH 2014

Tom Moore, Repair & Renovation Services. As Project

Manager, Tom is a very talented, outgoing,

employee that handles volumes of renovation

projects on campus. He excels in his daily

tasks and is often requested by name from

campus clients to oversee their projects. Tom

devotes the time to tasks that are sometimes

ordinary and makes them unique.

During this past winter on some of the coldest

days on record, Tom was tasked to get the gate on Stinson

Drive operational. He was there on site with the staff figuring

out the repair and seeing that all the details were taken care

of; he even identified additional areas of concern to be

repaired and had this included in the project. Tom always

appreciates the hard work of Facilities employees and takes

the time to recognize them through “ATTA Job” reports.

Always up for A Challenge!

Tom routinely asks to be assigned some of the more

challenging work to increase his skills and knowledge. In

several buildings, he has taken on tasks of installing curtain

walls and renovating suites, capturing all the details

associated with the projects to meet building codes which

include knowledge of HVAC, plumbing, electrical, life

safety, interior upfit, and structural elements. He is a team

player who involves and coordinates with not only Facilities

staff, but the occupants and those who may be affected with

changes to the facilities.

Co-worker Jeff Luz commented,

“Tom always goes out of his way to make sure the

customers are satisfied and get what they need.

Watching Tom’s drive helps me to work harder and

strive to meet our unit and customer’s goals.”

“The Facilitators”

Tom’s talents have also been recognized within Facilities

with his leadership in the Facilitators Band. As one of the

founding members, Tom helped bring together talents of

others and made a successful band that performed at

Facilities Annual Recognition Luncheon, Chancellor’s Open

House Reception and Kevin McNaughton’s retirement party.

Tom’s jovial, optimistic approach is infectious and helps

motivate the team at Repair & Renovation Services.

Adam Harris, Building Maintenance & Operations,

is an extremely knowledgeable and

dedicated employee that strives to make

NC State better. His overall work ethic is

key to helping maintain high visibility

facilities on campus to meet user needs.

During the recent transitioning of the light

bulbs to LED lamps in the chandeliers in

the Park Alumni Center’s ballroom, Adam’s persistence

and technical expertise helped correct an ongoing

problem that both reduced maintenance costs and

reduced energy consumption. The light bulbs that were

installed in the chandeliers were standard candelabra

incandescent bulbs. These lamps only had a life of four

to six months before they started to fail. This created

issues as this location is where most brides have their

wedding photographs taken. When multiple lamps

started to fail, the lighting levels would drop — creating

dim lighting in the ballroom and poor picture quality.

Also, when it came to scheduling bulb replacement, as

the Alumni Center is used for dining during lunch and

dinner, there was a very small window for replacement.

Adam is a tremendous resource for Zone 4 and

readily helps others to get the job done.

Donald Doran, Housekeeping Services, takes on his

work load with integrity, as he

demonstrates this in his attentiveness to

detail. He consistently makes safety a

priority; makes a point to understand and

meet the needs of his area. He

communicates to the zone manager any

safety concerns with the building, such as

heaters left on in offices or any electrical

concerns. Donald is also eager to assist his team, helping

to train new zone members, helping beyond his nightly

work schedule when the team is short-staffed, and

assisting in equipment loading/unloading. He goes

beyond his duties; shoveling well past the required

distance to make sure that students and staff are safe.

Donald is known as this team’s “Resident

MacGyver” — especially his innovation in designing a

cap for their lamp boxes with all safety procedures.

During this winter’s adverse weather events, he

came from Garner — on his bicycle!!

His dedication and commitment to our work, his

assigned zone, and the University makes him a great

asset.

Scott Buffaloe, Building Maintenance & Operations—

Supervisor, his nominator was from a fellow co-

worker recognizing him for his outstanding state

government service. He has developed a team of

hard-working professional building maintenance

mechanics that effectively manage solutions and

foster superbly sensitive relations with building

tenants. His team has built highly-effective

relationships of trust with the many University and

corporate tenants co-mingled in buildings under his direct

responsibility for daily operations and maintenance.

Scott leads by example as so aptly demonstrated during

this winter season. Working almost every day during the winter

break, he provided his employees with what family time they

could afford, while not only protecting the buildings from

weather related damage, but providing facility support to

construction contractors renovating one of his buildings. His

employees react to his dedication and caring approach, by

emulating his behavior when working with each other and their

myriad of customers.

He has often fixed design issues created by paid

consultants, who claim they have the solution on paper, but when

tested, fail. He takes the initiative to reach out to the campus

community, seek out answers based on proven methods, and

implement those solutions.

Scott is a master at “trouble shooting” problems. He

quickly gets to the root cause of the difficulty and targets

corrective action to that critical point. The results are shorter

outages and cheaper repairs. In fact, his skills are so acute he is

often asked to assist others when they have come to dead-ends.

We do have a a number of grill masters

among us, but, let’s keep in mind the food

preparers and hostesses , too.

Keeping food at proper temperatures -

indoors and outdoors - is critical in

preventing the growth of foodborne bacteria. The key is

to never let your picnic food remain in the "Danger

Zone":

between 40° F and 140° F - for more than 2 hours, or

1 hour if outdoor temperatures are above 90° F. This is

when bacteria in food can multiply rapidly, and lead to

foodborne illness.

COLD FOOD: It should not sit out for longer than 2

hours, or 1 hour if the outdoor temperature is above 90

degrees. If it does — discard it!

HOT FOOD: It should be kept hot, at or above 140° F.

Wrap it well and place it in an insulated container until

serving. Just as with cold food - these foods should not sit

out for more than 2 hours, or 1 hour in temperatures

above 90° F. If food is left out longer, throw it away to be

safe. DON'T REUSE PLATTERS OR UTENSILS!

Using the same platter or utensils that previously held

raw meat, poultry, or seafood allows bacteria from the

raw food’s juices to spread to the cooked food. Instead,

have a clean platter and utensils ready at grill-side to

serve your food.

Summertime is for Cook-Outs & Picnics

Horace Tomlinson, Building Maintenance & Operations,

was nominated by his director, Allen Boyette,

for his outstanding state government service. In

his role as maintenance planner, Horace

manages numerous building repair and

maintenance projects. This past year he prepared

the RFP (Request for Proposal), oversaw the

bidding, and coordinated the work for the

preventive maintenance of all of the large

chillers in the department spanning 18 different campus

buildings. As part of this effort, he also coordinated all oil

sampling and analysis to move the department towards a more

efficient and effective predictive maintenance program for these

large and costly pieces of equipment. His efforts led to the cost

avoidance of $25,000 of unnecessary chiller maintenance,

allowing the funds to be utilized for more immediate priorities.

Horace also manages the departmental refrigerant program

(both fluorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons) and maintains

usage records to reduce ozone depletion and greenhouse gas

emissions. As a result of his efforts, the department has

achieved 100% compliance with all state and EPA inspections.

Also, during a 7-month period in 2013, Horace performed

exceptionally well while serving as the Maintenance Shop

Supervisor in an interim role.

Chris Wolfgang, Repair & Renovation—General

Shop Supervisor. Chris’ nomination was

from a colleague in the Office of

University Architect (OUA) who focused

on Chris’ unique ability to show consistent

and exceptional customer service. Like

Chris, OUA works with many different

University departments, institutes, and

centers, and Chris’ leadership with his staff really is

evident in his department’s customer service. Whether

the issue is a critical situation that needs immediate

attention or a general work request, Chris has always

shown excellent customer service in calmness and an

attitude of “we will get the job done for whatever it

takes.” In short, Chris’ deposition is ‘what can I do for

you,’ first and foremost, and that is reflected by his staff.

Many of his colleagues share the same sentiments:

It is a pleasure to work with Chris; his response to

requests have always been immediate, and his track

record is that he follows through on tough tasks.

And, this is not all . . . Read more about Chris on

The Facilities Division has been utilizing

interns in several departments for many years.

This intern program helps accomplish

required work for each department as well as

providing an excellent learning experience for

our student community at NC State.

FACILITIES ADMINISTRATION

Earlier this month, Jeff Hightower had two interns, but they

have moved on to their summer jobs. However, he plans to

work with interns in the future. Jeff says “ I think this is a

way that Facilities Operations can support the University's

strategic plan.”

BUILDING MAINTENANCE

& OPERATIONS The majority of the intern work efforts include assisting

Facilities engineers and assisting Project Managers on repair

and maintenance efforts for campus.

Charles Hooker, from Durham, NC, is

currently an NC State senior in the Electrical

Engineering Program and working an

internship to further develop his career skills

and related talents. For the past 2 years, he

has worked for NCSU Housing and The

McKimmon Conference and Training Center.

Currently his duties and responsibilities here

with us for summer 2014 are assisting Facility engineers in

maintenance, repair, and renovation of the electrical,

mechanical, and building automation systems around the

University.

Being a senior, there is so little time for leisure, but

when time allows Charles like to go to the gym, play golf,

basketball, football, or anything athletically related. Charles’

conscious efforts of giving back to the community have been

with a focus on the youth in both academics and athletics, as

well as having prepared free meals for the homeless.

With his younger brother attending UNC and Charles

having grown up Duke fan, he has found he has gone through

a conversion process over the past 4 years and now he is

proud to say, “ I am a Wolfpack fan.”

REPAIR & RENOVATION

R&R is very fortunate to have three bright,

hardworking interns this summer:

On the Move . . .

“Where Are They, Now?”

Like a good neighbor, Environmental Health and Safety needed

office space, as well as Building Maintenance and Operations.

So, BM&O and Facilities Human Resources went to work with

relocation events and realignments.

The Control Shop. Three employees

(Denny Williamss, Steve Boggs, and Carl

Dudley) are now located in Administrative

Services Center III.

And, the Commissioning Team has moved

from Admin II to our Sullivan Complex (previously the Control

Shop location).

Zone A7 Brenda Autry, interim zone manager, says

“I just want to thank all my team members for their hard

work.”

New Supervisor! Richard Currin, BM&O

Engineer, has worked for NC State Field Labs

for 21 years and NC State Biological & Agri-

cultural Engineering for 8 years. He is from

Oxford, NC and says, “I like friendly peo-

ple.” He finds this location attractive due to it

being between the mountains and the beach, as well there are a

lot of open spaces.

Richard loves watching sports, particularly Wolf Pack

sports. He has held football and basketball season tickets for 30

years. He has been on the faculty’s bowling, softball, and bas-

ketball team. For giving back to the community, he has been

involved with missionary trips with his church, and worked

with Habitat for Humanity (serving as the electrical contractor

on some homes). Of course, he does enjoy reading engineer-

ing books.

Of his two daughter, one goes to Appalachian State, and his

youngest daughter is a senior here at NC State. 2014 EQUAL

daughter who followed her, as well as her sister. Her

most recent accomplishment occurred prior to her

leaving Pennsylvania — receiving her degree in Early

Childhood Education from Chestnut Hill in

Philadelphia. When asked about her community service

endeavors and interests, you can tell she has a

compassionate heart as she has been a foster parent for

numerous children, and now that she is here . . . Paula is

looking to be involved in supporting the YMCA, as well

as nearby schools. Paula commented, “You don’t know

how you can touch people lives.”

In her spare time, Paula likes to listen to gospel,

smooth jazz, and definitely “Old School” (Earth, Wind,

Another Benefit of Walking

Looking to boost your brain power?

Walking improves your ability to make

decisions, solve problems, and focus.

Even small doses of walking, like a 15-

minute trek, can increase your brain power.

We all know the more intense and more time spent

walking, it revs up your metabolism and the weight may

just start melting away, especially if you also engage in

healthy eating habits.

Remember ! It’s Summer! If you don’t drink cool water

regularly, dehydration can lead to

heat stroke which can be life-

threatening and require immediate,

medical attention.
