Middlebury College Appoints David W. Ginevan Executive

Vice President for Facilities Planning

David W. Ginevan, executive vice president and treasurer

of Middlebury College, has been named to the newly created position

of executive vice president for facilities planning, effective

July 1. He will continue to report to Middlebury President John

M. McCardell, Jr. His responsibilities as treasurer will be assumed

by F. Robert Huth, vice president for administration and chief

financial officer. The Middlebury College board of trustees has

named Ginevan treasurer emeritus in recognition of his 16 years

of service managing College finances.

According to McCardell, “In

the next five years, the College will face the most exciting and

challenging of times. The last five years and the next five will

complete a decade with more expansion in it than any other time

in our history. How well we succeed with the projects we undertake

will have profound impact on the College’s future. In my view,

there is only one person capable of performing these tasks, and

doing so with success, and that person is Dave Ginevan.”

In his new position, Ginevan will have a variety

of duties, including the management of a facilities planning team,

which will create, staff, and maintain a “situation room,”

accessible to all, where models of construction projects in various

stages of completion will be on display. He will serve as the

official College authority for the facilities planning and construction

processes, regularly communicating with constituencies on and

off campus, from student groups to architects and construction

firms. He also will be the principal College representative working

with Middlebury town officials.

McCardell commented, “It has become increasingly

clear this year that the oversight and direction of our facilities

plan require the full-time attention of someone who can bring

to so challenging a task an intimate knowledge of the campus,

the physical plant, and the complexities of the permitting process.

“I am grateful to Dave for his willingness to

assume these new duties, and to Bob Huth, to whom, with every

confidence, the financial reins of the College are now handed,”

added McCardell.

Ginevan has been the treasurer of the College for

16 years. He joined the Middlebury College administration in 1973.
