Director of Capital Projects and Construction

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Timothy McDermott as Director of Capital Projects and Construction at Farmingdale State College. A graduate of New York Institute of Technology and Texas A&M, Tim brings a wealth of project management knowledge and more than 20 years of experience in the construction industry to the position.

Tim comes to us from the Long Island Railroad where he spent the majority of his career. He began as a Project Management Trainee and was quickly promoted to Assistant Project Manager, and finally Assistant Director of Projects.

Reporting to Dorothy Hughes, AVP for Administration, Tim will provide leadership and oversight of the College’s Office of Capital Planning and Construction, including maintenance of the College’s Capital Plan and Facilities Master Plan. He will act as a liaison between SUNY System Administration, the State University Construction Fund (SUCF), and Farmingdale State College end users, as well as all vendors, state and local agencies, and other entities involved in the successful completion of campus projects and operations. He will also be responsible to identify and establish new and reoccurring campus project needs by working with the campus community and administration.

Please join me in congratulating Tim on his new position.

Gregory O'Connor
Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer
