We Build Teams That Win: Ingenuity in Action at LSU Facility Services

When a broken access panel clip threatened to delay repairs on campus, the LSU Facility Services team turned the challenge into an opportunity to innovate. Unable to source a replacement part, the team decided to create one themselves. Within minutes, Aaron Cherry, Facility Maintenance Manager, created a computer model of the damaged component. Natale Nappi, Superintendent of the Roofing and Sheet Metal department, used the model to reproduce the part using a 3D printer he keeps at home. The next day, the new clip was installed, and the hatch was fully operational again.
