ELEVATOR U TAKES PART IN FACILITIES CONFERENCE

  Elevator U (EU) board President Eddie Morris of the University of Virginia and board member Brad O’Guynn of Elevator World, Inc. took part in the SRAPPA 2018 Conference, an educational gathering and expo held in October at the Hyatt Regency in Greenville, South Carolina. SRAPPA, the Southeastern Regional Association of Physical Plant Administrators, is one of six regional organizations affiliated with APPA: Leadership in Educational Facilities, a group dedicated to supporting the men and women who maintain the physical facilities of colleges and universities in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Nearly 40 presenters led talks and educational sessions on everything from maintaining mechanical equipment to the student's perspective on the campus environment. Morris gave a talk on "MRLs Vs. Conventional Elevators: What's Right for Your Facility?" The expo drew 84 exhibitors to the event and included a booth by EU that explained the organization's mission to "promote excellence in design, construction and maintenance of all forms of vertical transportation" on college and university campuses.
