Behind The 2024 Olympics Athletes…

APPA would like to recognize and give a round of applause to the facilities professionals who served the Olympic athletes at their institutions, especially those who are APPA members.

The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, have come and gone. As always, and with good reason, the focus of Olympic coverage is on the various athletes participating, especially if they win an Olympic Medal. We are proud and grateful for their tireless dedication and human drive for excellence.

However, while we are enjoying the games, there has been a team of educational facilities managers working tirelessly to ensure their athletes have everything they need to compete and win those medals. From providing sufficient power and comfortable temperatures, to maintaining safe and functional pools, indoor gyms, athletic fields, and locker rooms, they are the foundational providers of what our athletes need to train and win.
