AAMD WELCOMES YOU TO THE BRAND NEW HOME ROOM T he Apartment Association of Metro Denver recently completed the renovation and expansion of its current offi ce space. The offi ce now features an expanded meeting space, 'The Glass Room', Education Room and an all new Hands On Maintenance Education (HOME) Room. All training rooms now feature the latest upgrades in audio visual equipment and lighting that allows for more fl exibility in a learning environment. The Glass Room can hold 32 students, the HOME room can hold 36 and the Education Center can now hold up to 95. This expanded space not only provides an enhanced and more comfortable learning environment but allows AAMD and its members to host more students when needed. The Hands On Maintenance Education (HOME) Room is an all new training center that features a variety of equipment that will allow maintenance professionals to receive hands-on training. HD Supply and Endeavor Exteriors have partnered with AAMD to become the fi rst HOME Room sponsors. Their support and expertise have helped transform this offi ce space into AAMD’s fi rst hands-on training facility. There has been a longstanding vision to create a training environment that allows maintenance professionals to learn technical skills training in a hands-on environment. In late 2018, the AAMD Board of Directors voted in favor of expanding the current offi ce space to build out this new training area. The 1200 square foot HOME Room features new and used refrigerators, washer/dryer sets, dishwashers, stove-top ranges, garbage disposals, microwaves, HVAC equipment, an electrical wall, pool fi lters, pumps and much more. These pieces of equipment were donated by AAMD Management Company members and Supplier partners. The room is fully equipped and ready for training thanks to these donations! Beginning in January 2020, the HOME Room will be open for training and room rentals. There are currently more than 20 seminars scheduled for the spring with more to be added. As a grand opening special, all seminars in February and March will be $20! The AAMD wants maintenance professionals from around the metro Denver area to have the opportunity to experience this new education style and embrace their professional development. Maintenance professionals can choose from Plumbing, Electrical, Appliance, Heating, AC, Interior/Exterior, Pool, fi tness equipment training and much more.
