The Center for Distance Learning (CDL) was awarded a contract to develop the first high rise training program for building managers in Chicago.  Dr. Howard Solomon and I were selected to lead the design of this program. We spent many months reviewing the hundreds of pages of materials that the Chicago Fire Department (CPD) provided us, interviewed 4 experienced building managers in Chicago and finally developed the course which was originally presented to the CPD Commissioner and his executive team. All high rise building managers were expected to successfully complete this course and re-certify themselves every 4 years.
