Department of Facilities Planning and Construction
In order to implement the Facilities Master Plan, the college created a new department in April 2003: Facilities Planning and Construction (FP&C). The department, currently headed by John Wandolowski, Director of Facilities Planning and Construction/Operations and Maintenance, includes C.O.D. staff and contracted staff through Aramark Corporation. The department is located in Building H on the west side of the college’s Glen Ellyn campus.
