[Music] [Music] threats hi my name is Mr Curtis woodro I am the facilities director for Eggo Township School District every building has a story a
timeline of Maintenance challenges and the inevitable aging process in our school facilities and aging infrastructure can have a significant impact on the daily operation of those within today we will take a closer look at some of the most pressing issues affecting our facilities from
underground drainage to HVAC systems as some of you have noticed some items on this list have been in front of you in the past we have many buildings that have been built over many years we also have buildings that have gone through
many alterations and additions so the Aging timeline tends to overlap in many areas underground piping end of life ongoing failures this is primarily at Alder and Fernwood these systems were installed around the same time water
intrusion Roofing exterior wall leaks keeping the water and moisture out of our buildings can be a challenge so water intrusion is an ongoing battle High School fire doors some doors are over 40 years old and in need of replacement these doors take beating
with thousands of students moving through them every day has taken its toll parking lots in need of upgrades and expansions some of the parking lots were designed 20 to 40 years ago when we had less students and staff some have
been altered but some are in need of expanding HVAC projects end of life ongoing equipment failure HBC systems require special technical attention when they are new and operating properly as
they age past their useful life cycle they become unreliable and can cause uncomfortable instructional environment older equipment require longer timelines to find vendors and Parts Plus the additional man- hours required to
perform the search and make repairs the last two slides show some of our aging infrastructure hello everyone my name is Michelle Fischer and I'm the director of Transportation these are some of the
