What Works

摘要

With 25 years of experience at Manhattan, KS-based Kansas State University's Veterinary Medicine Complex - and responsibility for the complex's 500,000 square feet of building space - Dennis Ahlvers knows what needs to be done to make sure the university's facilities are up to par for every person (and every animal) using them. About 10 years ago, Ahlvers and University of Missouri-Columbia's Veterinary Medicine Facilities Manager Greg Flippin began swapping facilities-related stories and discussing associated problems and situations. Neither professional had ever been to another veterinary facility, so Ahlvers decided to meet Flippin in Columbia to spend a weekend examining the university's veterinary facilities, discussing processes, and sharing knowledge.
