***:
Reporting to the Vice President for Finance and Administration, the Assistant Vice President for Operations and Engineering (AVP) will play a pivotal role as a strategic thinker and doer in the shaping of our campus infrastructure and operating systems for the future. The AVP directs all facilities, capital programs and site support functions throughout the College campus including utilities, campus distribution systems, building systems and controls, security systems, site amenities, grounds and laboratory support. The AVP is comfortable with the exploration of innovative methods and sustainable solutions that may include the use of technologies such as artificial intelligence and fault detection systems to measure, monitor and optimize our physical campus assets, minimize our energy consumption and even optimize the use of physical spaces. The AVP is collaborative, inclusive and opportunistic in involving faculty and student engineering talent where practical in their work.

The AVP leads all efforts associated with stewardship of the College’s campus infrastructure and is instrumental in the development of asset-criticality-driven processes for the maintenance and operations of our campus assets. The AVP is a data driven leader, overseeing building performance, building condition, financial stewardship and progress reporting metrics to ensure that the campus is maintained at a high level of proficiency.

The College has recently launched a major strategic initiative, College as a Living Lab, intended to incorporate new and upcoming major capital initiatives, with transformative academic programming. This effort will result in the development of a master plan and fundraising program, the goal of which will be to transform the present campus into one of the first carbon-neutral, predictively maintained campuses in the country. The AVP will be a key leader and architect in this effort, working with students, faculty, staff and external partners to determine sustainable programming, building maintenance and operations technologies and capital investments supporting the operations of the campus of the future.
