As part of our ongoing efforts to align Facilities’ organizational structure with the expanding needs for advancing Yale’s academic priorities and sustainability goals, I am pleased to announce that Anthony Kosior is now the associate vice president for Facilities and Campus Stewardship.
In this new role, Anthony will provide the guidance required to achieve more integrated facilities services coordinated across all Yale campuses. To meet this charge, he will be responsible for the following areas and initiatives within our office’s purview and continue to report directly to me [1].
I’ve asked Anthony to stand up and lead a new organization that will more effectively quantify, prioritize, and deliver capital maintenance and utilities renewal investment strategies at Yale. This new organization, Campus Stewardship, will focus closely on these strategies by reducing the backlog of deferred maintenance, ensuring the reliability of our utility infrastructure, and extending the facility-life cycle of our buildings and grounds. Achieving this objective will include integration of the following functional requirements.
The development of this group’s organizational structure, and processes, will continue to be coordinated with other department leaders and reach full implementation by the end of 2023.
In addition to the key areas of responsibility cited above, I’ve also asked Anthony to support me in co-leading our strategic planning and organizational transformation initiatives. This work will build on our team’s strengths and accomplishments, while setting the Office of Facilities on a path for improving the integration and effectiveness of its services. The initiatives that Anthony will be responsible for implementing include the following items.
Please join me in congratulating Anthony on his new role at Yale.
One team, forward, together.
