UH System Facilities Forum 2019

UHS begins ‘Shifting into High Gear’ for the upcoming school year


“The UH System Facilities Forum is a great opportunity for camaraderie and information sharing,” said Program Director 2, Jennifer Rea.  Rea helped promote the event and lead the Facilities Forum event planning team.

The objective of every Facilities Forum is to establish facilities networks, share knowledge and provide mutual support within the UH System. Associate Vice Chancellor/Associate Vice President, David Oliver, said: “The time we spend together during the forum builds our relationships and increases our knowledge.”

The Forum provides relevant presentations on topics of concern and interest to today’s higher education facilities leaders.  As part of this year’s Forum, we were honored to host two workshops from EAB, an organization whose slogan is “Making Education Smarter”. The EAB workshops helped provide a perspective on what is currently trending at institutions of higher education. We were also excited to have a workshop on Contracts from Dona Cornell, UH Vice President for Legal Affairs and General Counsel. The Facilities Forum event was a huge success with the tremendous help from our UH Facilities’ staff members. We want to say thank you for all of your hard work during this two-day event and we look forward to many more!
