Carrie — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 21:38:52 +0000

Meet Robert Lang, the newest FMP in the Regina Chapter of IFMA:

Employer: SaskEnergy Inc.

Job Title: Supervisor, Buildings & Space Planning

Employment History: Worked in the Drafting Dept. from 1989 - 2000, in charge of Furniture & Moves from 2000 - 2003 and moved into the Buildings and Security Dept. in 2003 to present.

Something Rob learned by taking the core competencies: Facility management is a constantly evolving profession and to keep up today’s professionals must possess a broad knowledge base; from how to successfully lead your FM department, to how to deal with the day-to-day operations and maintenance issues within your facilities. The IFMA courses for the FMP designation provided me with the fundamentals I will need to be successful as a facility management professional and I would recommend that all individuals working in the FM field pursue the FMP designation as a way to start the continuing education required to benefit yourself and your employer.

A little known fact about Rob: I designed a custom curved staircase for the home of Linda Carter (T.V.’s Wonderwoman).

Government of Canada Building

Carrie — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 20:01:52 +0000

The 1936 Federal Building merits distinction because of it’s architectural typicality, its contribution to the character of the area and its integrity. This Art Deco building with 4 storey central tower was built as a part of a Depression-era program to create employment and improve and consolidate the accommodation of federal government services. The modestly scaled and inexpensively decorated structure was erected on a prominent and prestigious site. The trial and sentencing of Louis Riel occurred in a federal courtroom located on the same site in 1885.

Income Tax Building

Carrie — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 19:55:39 +0000

The Income Tax Building at 1955 Smith Street, Regina, is a high performance building that has achieved outstanding environmental goals through its recent major renovation. The obsolete and inefficient building core layout was replaced with a more functional one, including a new energy-efficient elevator. High efficiency mechanical systems and electrical energy saving features are expected to reduce overall energy use.
