Looking at the calendar, it's hard to believe there is only one week left before my kids break for the holidays. This year the break is a little longer and the first week of school in 2021 will be 100 percent virtual to build in extra quarantine time for those gathering with family. All across the country, schools will be adapting to the "new normal" of 2021.
On December 18, at 10 a.m. EST, join us for our fnPrime exclusive roundtable "Returning to Normal: Learning from Universities." We'll hear from four university facility managers about their experiences this year and what their plans are for the second semester. We'll also discuss what best practices can be applied to other facilities as occupants everywhere return to work.

Evaluating The Effectiveness Of Four Coronavirus Mitigation Measures
By Greg Zimmerman
In the ongoing battle to mitigate the spread of coronavirus, facility managers have been bombarded with an unremitting and ever-shifting wave of advice, guidance, and how-to. Often, that guidance has seemed contradictory between scientists, healthcare organizations, and government representatives. This doesn't always mean something nefarious is occurring. Rather, it's because as scientists learn more about coronavirus, and how it spreads, the guidance on how to prevent that spread necessarily changes as well. For instance, it wasn't until early October that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reversed course and issued a statement that the coronavirus could in fact travel distances greater than six feet indoors through aerosolized particles.
So how do facility managers know what's best? How can they choose between coronavirus mitigation measures that are actually, scientifically proven to be effective, and others that may just be "hygiene theater"?
