He was 88.<\/p>\n<p>Saarinen was a friend to the college and a leader in the environmental engineering field. He was known for building marvels of public water works around the world, and for demonstrating and teaching sound ethical principles in both engineering and in business.<\/p>\n<p>Like most of his classmates, Saarinen paused in the middle of his college education to serve in WWII. When he returned to UF after the war, he dedicated himself to becoming an environmental engineer \u00ad\u2013 before there even was such a thing. At the time, UF and other universities offered degrees in civil engineering, with a focus on sanitation. When it was founded in 1966, Saarinen became an active supporter of \u2013 and later an adjunct lecturer in \u2013 UF\u2019s Department of Environmental Engineering.<\/p>\n<p>Saarinen\u2019s career took off after he helped engineer the cooling system for the launch platform of the Apollo series at Cape Canaveral:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember when Neil Armstrong stepped out on the moon, I thought \u2018I helped getting him there\u2019,\u201d Saarinen recalled in a 2004<a href=\"https:\/\/ufdc.ufl.edu\/MH00001796\/00001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> interview<\/a> for the Matheson museum\u2019s oral history program. \u00a0He was living in the quickly developing southeast region of Florida at the time, and city and county projects filled his plate and soon grew his reputation to a national level. He became president of the Florida firm Ross Saarinen Bolton &amp; Wilder. Then, after a merger in 1974, he became senior vice president of Camp Dresser &amp; McKee, Inc. \u2013 one of the largest environmental engineering firms in the country. He served as president of the Florida Engineering Society, the Florida Water Pollution Control Association and the International Water Environment Federation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Saarinen remained active with the department and the college, offering generous support and serving in various capacities, including the Dean\u2019s Advisory Board. He was honored as a University of Florida Distinguished Alumnus in 2001. After he retired, Saarinen was invited to return to UF to teach classes in ethics. \u201cHis classes were very well received, said Professor Emeritus Joseph Delfino, who was chair of the environmental engineering department at the time. \u201cEthics without good examples starts to feel like a philosophy class. He had so many good examples of how he put ethical principles into place. In hearing about his 50 years of experience, students really knew what to expect when they started in the job force.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy dad always took the high road, never cut corners, and was open to sacrifices for better long term solutions,\u201d said Justin Saarinen, Arthur\u2019s son, who is a geospatial scientist at New College of Florida. \u201cHe valued the standard of excellence that UF provided, and the cooperative experiential opportunities between students and practicing professionals. He loved sharing his wisdom with bright up and coming Gator Engineering students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Saarinen is remembered by many for being outspoken on water and land use issues. He and his wife donated 78 acres of land in Newberry, Florida for conservation, which is now managed by Alachua Conservation Trust and open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Arthur Saarinen\u2019s life, please see:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.legacy.com\/us\/obituaries\/gainesville\/name\/arthur-saarinen-obituary?id=15110316#sthash.Hio5WczH.dpuf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.legacy.com\/obituaries\/gainesville\/obituary.aspx?pid=180071770#sthash.Hio5WczH.dpuf<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UF Distinguished Alumnus was respected around the world for his environmental engineering designs and ethics. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2592,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"single-templates\/single-sidebar-none.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"featured_post":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[31,35,47,57],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19532","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-essie","category-featured","category-in-memoriam","category-stories"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
