Last year alone, this team completed approximately $13 million dollars in capital and renovation projects and they routinely balance as many as 200 projects at any one time. Some projects are high profile and visible, as you can see driving by the campuses, but there’s also a lot of behind the scenes work that goes into building, maintaining and renovating Fanshawe to keep the learning and working environments in top condition.

The winning team members above are: back row, left to right:Nathan Gerber (Architectural Technology 97); Shannon Mulcahy and Jeff Mosher. Both Shannon and Jeff are co-op students from Architectural Technology.
