IMEG Education Market Leader John Holbert talks about the challenges facing the education sector and other\u00a0<\/span><\/i>related\u00a0<\/span><\/i>topics in th<\/span><\/i>e following Q&A.\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q<\/span><\/b>: What types of facilities does IMEG design in the education market?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A<\/span><\/b>:<\/span><\/b> IMEG\u2019s education portfolio ranges from A to Z. We work at all types of institutions, both higher education and K-12. We do a variety of project types, including facilities for the arts, science and technology, and sports and recreation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: What common challenge is confronting today\u2019s education institutions?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A<\/span><\/b>:<\/span><\/b> Obviously, the pandemic greatly disrupted the education sector. Colleges and universities are facing enormous challenges with respect to revenue, enrollment, and health safety issues as they work to return their campuses to full capacity and operations. All of this is on top of the fact that all education institutions face a lack of resources — whether it be money, manpower, equipment, space, etc. There will always be challenges in education to do more with less.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: How is IMEG positioned to help education clients achieve their goals?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A<\/span><\/b>:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0IMEG<\/span>\u00a0offers a wide variety of engineering solutions that\u00a0<\/span>are\u00a0<\/span>beneficial\u00a0<\/span>to complex\u00a0<\/span>education projects<\/span>. We can provide the necessary\u00a0<\/span>supplementary services\u00a0<\/span>such as<\/span>\u00a0technology<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0AV<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0security<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0commissioning<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0architectural lighting<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0acoustics<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0<\/span>energy modeling<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>W<\/span>e’re able to deliver those under one roof.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: What drives your passion for your work as a consulting engineer?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A<\/span><\/b>:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>M<\/span>y passion for engineering really stems from the ability to solve problems<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>I\u00a0<\/span>also\u00a0<\/span>really like working with people<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>I love the challenge of the engineering solutions<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0but I also love the challenge of developing relationships.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: Describe one of your biggest accomplishments as a consulting engineer.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A<\/span><\/b>:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>M<\/span>y most memorable moment in my career was the opportunity to develop a new education client into a repeat client<\/span>\u00a0who e<\/span>vent<\/span>ually<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>requested IMEG as their preferred engineer. During<\/span>\u00a0that relationship<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0which spanned about 20 years<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0we accomplished over 50 projects on campus.\u00a0<\/span>We also helped them<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>create their functional specifications.\u00a0<\/span>These projects led to multiple presentations on campus and<\/span>\u00a0at<\/span>\u00a0various conferences and some prestigious awards for our collaborative work.<\/span>\u00a0We got o<\/span>ur initial opportunity\u00a0<\/span>to work\u00a0<\/span>on<\/span>\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0campus because we listened<\/span>\u00a0to the owner and their needs<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>T<\/span>he additional opportunities that we earned were based on the relationship we developed<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>b<\/span>ased on a mutual trust and<\/span>\u00a0r<\/span>espect<\/span>. This<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>allowed us to work together to deliver the best overall projects for that client.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
