The Facilities Management Department at Sinclair College plays a crucial role in these efforts, dedicated to maintaining the campus’s aesthetic and functional standards. Their mission is to ensure the upkeep of buildings, grounds, utilities, equipment and mechanical and electrical systems in a cost-effective manner. By doing so they provide a safe, healthy and comfortable environment for the entire college community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe appreciate everyone\u2019s patience and understanding with the facilities renovation projects and we do apologize for any inconvenience, but we believe in the end we’ll have a good project, a good result and an enhanced plaza,\u201d said Hensley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
