George works closely with Uni- versity academic and administrative heads to identify the University's future space require- ments. George says he particularly enjoys this type of consulting where he is concerned with the overall management of University space. A graduate of the University of Western Ontario, where he also worked for three years, George worked as assistant to the Director of Physical Plant and Planning and co-ordinated space planning efforts. During the eight years he has been at Guelph, he has answered hundreds of space requests, as well as designing several computer routines used for space management. When not solving the University's space problems, George enjoys spending time outdoors, gardening and landscaping on his country property where he also grows many varieties of sweet corn. ❑
