Campus ChampionNo one can speak to a person’s dedication and professionalism better than co-workers and those of Wayne Leitch’s do not restrain. The longtime heating plant employee was dually nominated for his safety-first attitude, exceptional training record, job knowledge and work ethic. A closer look reveals that the plant utilities engineer skillfully monitors the air and water temperatures in every building on campus from a central location while complying with energy efficiency programs, responding to alarms, trouble shooting problems, delivering technical assistance to field techs and staying ahead of the diagnostic technology. While he quietly masters the Building Management System, we introduce 2016’s first Campus Champion.
