As the country was just starting to come to grips with a global pandemic, a Blacksburg Virginia Gym owner reaches out to one of her patrons, a professor of civil environmental engineering (CEE) at nearby Virginia Tech, for assistance with keeping her workspace safe for employee and customers alike.
