Special shoutout to Erich Miller for leading the project!

During Summer 2025, George Mason Facilities & Campus Operations (F&CO) completed a one-month renovation of the volleyball court flooring located in the Recreation and Athletic Complex (RAC) on the Fairfax Campus. Owned and maintained by F&CO, the RAC’s upgrade features a modernized design showcasing the new university logo in the middle of the court, as well as our new George Mason green. The refresh also incorporates the natural wood flooring into the design. For the very first time, the logo was applied as a vinyl decal rather than being hand-painted, and is expected to last much longer than paint, as the decals are applied before the final seal.

Celebrating Abel Cason as the June 2025 Employee of the Month

Congratulations to Abel Cason, Plumber III, Zone 6, for being recognized as the June 2025 Employee of the Month! Cason was nominated by Ron Fasso, Evening Shift Operations Supervisor, Zone 6.

“Abel Cason always goes above and beyond when executing work orders.” Said Fasso. “Abel not only addresses the primary issue, but he also checks the surrounding areas for relevant deficiencies.”

As prevalent among “kudos” emails, Cason’s positive attitude and willingness to help his fellow technicians have not gone unnoticed, and play a key role in maintaining our campus operations.
