| Job Description / Primary Objective |
California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), a highly regarded, nationally ranked independent multidisciplinary arts institution, seeks a dynamic and collaborative Associate Vice President for Capital Facilities Planning to provide expert leadership in the ongoing development of its campus.
The Position
The Associate Vice President of Capital Facilities Planning (AVP) reports to the Senior Vice President of Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer (SVPFA/CFO), Lori Husein. The AVP serves as a leader on campus and in CalArts’ broader communities responsible for advancing the physical development of facilities that enable education, performance, administration, and the housing, dining, and living programs that sustain its students and faculty. The AVP is responsible for the strategy and day-to-day direction and supervision of all CalArts’ capital facilities planning needs. The scope of this work includes the management of both the project planning and the design for all major and minor capital projects, including remodel, renovation, and new constructions. The AVP further ensures that the planning and design of all capital projects are functional, environmentally sustainable, appropriately scoped, well-designed, and cost effective. In tandem, the AVP will support and provide expert guidance to the Vice President for Facilities Development and Management (VPFDM) on issues concerning construction project management.
The AVP is the operational lead in the development of a new capital facility master plan, the first since the Institute’s inception, and subsequent triannual progress reviews and updates to the plan once it is formed. As CalArts’ chief design official and building official, this position maintains CalArts’ aesthetic standards and regulatory and agency code compliance. The AVP also serves as CalArts’ liaison with the City of Santa Clarita, City of Los Angeles, and County of Los Angeles Facilities Planning and Utilization units.
Currently, the AVP provides leadership for and supervision of 1 FTE as well as CFP contractors and contributes to the effective performance of staff under the VPFDM. The CFP team will grow as more funding becomes available through various channels including philanthropy. Additionally, the AVP will support the development and management of an annual capital budget that is expected to be approximately $10M and will complete the investment of a $40M bond.
