Bowdoin's facilities management department has created two new leadership positions as part of a series of changes following the death of Director of Facilities Management David D'Angelo in October.
Don Borkowski, who acted as Interim Director of Facilities Management, will now be Director of Capital Projects. Ted Stam, who is currently the Vice President of Facilities Management at CB Richard Ellis/Boulos Property Management in Portland, will become the Director of Facilities Operations and Maintenance beginning April 25.
In an email sent to all Bowdoin employees, Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration S. Catherine Longley wrote, "Don Borkowski has led the department very successfully and has worked closely with me to analyze the future workload and responsibilities facing the department. By creating two leadership positions, we now have a new structure in place that will serve Bowdoin into the future."
The responsibilities of the Director of Capital Projects include oversight of all aspects of major building projects on campus. Borkowski joined Bowdoin in 1996, and has been involved with several building projects including Searles, the Schwartz Outdoor Leadership Center, and the Children's Center.
The responsibilities of the Director of Facilities Operations include stewardship of Bowdoin's entire Brunswick campus, oversight of the physical plant, and coordination of maintenance projects on campus. Stam will also oversee housekeeping, the mechanical, electrical, and carpentry shops, grounds, environmental health and safety, and security functions, and will manage Bowdoin's outside facilities vendor relationships.
Prior to his employment at CB Richard Ellis/Boulos Property Management, Stam also served as General Property Manager for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey at Two World Trade Center.
