EDUCATION REINVENTED
H.O.M.E. ROOM CLASSES
The home room is nothing like a typical classroom environment. Yes, there are tables, chairs and a screen
for a powerpoint, but this space offers flexibility and encourages students to get up, move around and
dive into the equipment they have at their fingertips. Class size is limited to 16 students to ensure social
distancing and compliance on gathering size. Be sure to register to secure your spot!

Make Ready Maintenance & Procedures
Make ready maintenance involves preparing an

goal to make the apartment “as good as new.”
To achieve this goal, however, maintenance
professionals need more than just their hands,
tools, and a checklist. Indeed, they must learn
how to see a just-vacated apartment through the
eyes of the future resident, as well as those of the
management team or owner.
