Jacob Faiola and Steve Tossey Present Best Practices at BASA

Mechanical engineers Jacob Faiola and Steve Tossey have hit the speaker’s circuit! We’re proud they represented SHP in their breakout session, “Three Strategies for Improving Infectious Disease Through Indoor Air Quality,” during BASA’s annual fall conference, Oct. 5-6. If you missed their virtual session, never fear! It’s a subject Jacob and Steve are passionate about; click here to read more about their myth-busting best practices for IAQ.

It’s worth noting that when it comes to putting our faith and trust in the expertise of our team, SHP is not only talking the talk, but walking the walk. We recently invested in one of the strategies Jacob and Steve shared with conference attendees for improving infectious disease control: bipolar ionization. While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to linger, we take comfort in knowing the bright minds of our engineering team can be relied upon to lead in times of uncertainty and protect the health of our office and employees.

In a post-pandemic world, workplaces will look and feel different; they already do. People will return to the office. But, what do we do in the meantime? SHP is in the unique position of helping answer this question. Importantly, as designers, architects and strategists, we aspire to rise to architecture’s greatest challenge—creating a sense of place that enhances human experiences—in a time when we must, by necessity, be apart.

In my experience as an architect, it is not a common occurrence to walk into a crowded room and have everyone immediately stop what they’re doing to announce and celebrate your arrival. However, every Thursday for the past four months, that is exactly the type of greeting I’ve had the pleasure of receiving when visiting Ms. Tiffani Wills’ first and second grade class at Pleasant Ridge Montessori School as a volunteer with the Architectural Foundation of Cincinnati’s Design LAB: Learn and Build program.
