    Membership Meeting
    Location: Bastyr University in Kenmore
    The program will be hosted by Daniel Clark, Bastyr University's Director of Facilities and Safety and Gary Nevius, Facility Manager. http://www.bastyr.edu
    Bastyr University’s new Student Village recently won the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design LEED platinum certification, becoming the first student housing project on the West Coast to receive the highest green building classification. The buildings are naturally ventilated, have radiant floor heating and include locally sourced, FSC-certified wood, energy efficient appliances, and low VOC paints and finishes. An additional eco-friendly feature is the “butterfly roof” design of each building. Roofs are angled upward on both sides to catch rain, which is then collected and released slowly into a nearby wetland, preventing flooding and erosion. Green roofs are being installed on some rooftops where vegetation growing on them will help with insulation and heat absorption.

    Membership Meeting
    The IFMA Greater Seattle Chapter is proud to present
    The 2009 IFMA Awards of Excellence
    Distinguished Educator, Dean Kashiwagi, PhD, PE
    "Crossroads: The Transformation and Survival of the Professional Facility Manager"

    >> Details in Member 'Flash'
    The Facility Manager must be in alignment with their company’s vision and strategy. The ugly truth is that misfit projects that don’t align with the goals are occurring daily no matter the industry. To add more fuel to the problems there is today’s turbulent economy. Do you get rid of the project, keep doing the same thing or create change? FMs have heard all the hype about best value practices, but seen very little improvements. Meet the best value expert. This session will introduce innovative best value delivery system know as the Performance Information Risk Management System (PIRMS) can assist Facility Manager’s and their personnel to complete projects with less work, but yielding better results. Case study results shared on how other FMs have used it successfully. This system has been tested more than 650 times ($2.5 billion project costs) over 15 years and has delivered on time results, with high client satisfaction and no contractor generated change orders, 98% of the time.

    Dean is a professor at Arizona State University’s Del E Webb School of Construction and also the Director of the Performance Based Studies Research Group (PBSRG). His many achievements include receiving a Fulbright Scholar award to share state-of-the-art facility and project management research and practices with the people of Botswana, Africa. Dean’s groundbreaking FM Model of the Future graduate program was put into practice at ASU and he was instrumental in the investment of US$100 million in the institution. Currently Dean is collaborating with the local IFMA Phoenix Chapter on FM education efforts. He is also is an accomplished author. Prior to ASU, Kashiwagi was a Project Engineer for the US Air Force during his 14 years of military service.
