Wilson Hall

Multipurpose Activity Center

We’ve recently completed a 151,000-square-foot, 4000-seat arena (the Multipurpose Activity Center), an outdoor tennis court complex and an addition and renovation to our historic library.  We have a 200-bed residence hall under construction and scheduled for completion this spring. 

In the Facilities Management area, we have four directors.  One handles 75 custodians, a 7 member set up team and a 2 man fire/safety shop.  One is responsible for the various grounds crews and the auto shop totaling approximately 19.  One is responsible for the painting, carpentry and locksmith shops (total of 9) and also supports the Campus Planning and Construction department on a part-time basis.  The fourth director, with a total of 13 employees, handles the HVAC mechanics, electrical, plumbing and energy management.  An office staff of five (accounting, payroll, secretarial, work-order management) supports these directors.

Campus Planning and Construction is a separate department of 2 which, along with assistance from its FM director, is responsible for all new construction and major renovations on the campus.  Both Campus Planning and Facilities Management, as well as Mail, Police and Human Resources, report to the Vice President for Administrative Services.
