BUSINESS PARTNER WHITEPAPER SERIESJLG Industries Lifts Minimize Visual Impact on Notre DameSkyline During Restoration Work Eight JLG Industries' aerial work platforms enabled workers to restore theexterior of the University of Notre Dame's Main Building, a historic landmark.Constructed in 1879, the Main Building supports the famous Golden Dome,
which defines the campus skyline. JLG lifts have been used duringrenovation work because scaffolding isexpensive, sta ys up throughout the job, istimeconsuming to put up and take down,and typically damages landscaping. Liftsoccupy a smaller space, and are mainlybrought in when the work takes placeduring the night. Further, scaffoldingdetracts from the buildings, such as Main Building and the Basilica, whichpeople want to see and to photograph when they visit the campus. Read thewhitepaper.

Research Shows You Can’t Afford Not to Keep Your Schools Clean
A recent Educational Facilities Clearinghouse (EFC) blog post featuresAPPA data in its discussion of the critical importance of clean facilities in theeducational environment.
It cites a study titled "Clean Schools Promote Academic Success"conducted at APPA's Center for Facilities Research (CFaR). CFaRnoted 88% of college students reported that a lack of cleanlinessbecame a distraction; 84% responded that orderly spotlessness andordinary tidiness are essential to a positive learning environment; 78%noted that cleanliness affected their health. Students ratedcleanliness the fourth most important building element to influencepersonal learning.The article also includes statistics by the International SanitarySupply Association (ISSA) on the impact of bacteria found in schools.Another set of findings from aNew York City schools reportnoted that 40% of thoseinterviewed noted conditions inthe schools that could causecomplications to their allergiesand asthma.A California study showed thatstudent health, student achievement, attendance, and dropout rateswere directly related to school buildings' cleanliness and condition.
These findings reinforce the important role of a facility's cleanliness to aschool's performance and students' wellbeing on multiple fronts. Read thefull blog post.
