Illinois State University

Illinois State University seeks a strategic and mission-oriented collaborator and leader committed to the mission, vision, and values outlined in the University’s strategic plan to serve as Associate Vice President (AVP) for Facilities Management, Planning, and Operations. The AVP reports to the Vice President for Finance and Planning and serves as the principal facilities administrator at the University and provides strategic leadership, coordination, and administrative oversight to the entire range of functions and services involved in the effective development and management of the University's physical resources; all in support of the University's academic mission.

The AVP is accountable for overseeing complex financial components for facilities planning, design and construction, architectural and engineering services, remodeling and capital renewal programs, building and grounds maintenance, heating plant, energy management, sustainability, and parking and transportation.

The overarching opportunity for the AVP will be to serve as a strategic leader, one who fosters a culture that highly values customer service, engagement, communication, and responsiveness to faculty, students, and staff. Efficiency and transparency in all aspects of facilities and campus properties are highly important. The new AVP will be joining the Illinois State University community with major capital construction in progress and significant planning initiatives on the horizon. The successful candidate must provide leadership and direction that will ensure the campus continues to receive the highest level of service even as large projects are undertaken.
