Larry Kilduff

Larry Kilduff became executive director of facilities in 2000 after heading construction, maintenance, physical plant and utilities operations at three Ivy League universities. Kilduff is responsible for planning, design and construction and plant operations at the university's Homewood campus. He also heads design and construction at the Peabody Institute in Baltimore, the Applied Physics Laboratory in Howard County, Md., the Nitze School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, D.C., continuing education and other facilities throughout the Baltimore-Washington area, and Hopkins campuses in China and Italy. He participates in university decisions on real estate issues, including leases, purchases and development projects.

Before coming to Johns Hopkins, Kilduff spent nearly three years as senior vice president of Trammell Crow Co., in charge of its operations at the University of Pennsylvania, where he was responsible for 12 million square feet of facilities and a construction and renovation program of more than $850 million. He reorganized the facilities program to improve service while reducing costs within a flatter, more decentralized, more customer-oriented management structure.

From 1987 until 1997, Kilduff worked at Columbia University, including three years as vice president in charge of facilities at both the Morningside Heights and health sciences campuses and a year as the university's interim executive vice president for administration. Prior to that, he spent 10 years at Harvard University, rising to director of all of its Cambridge, Mass., facilities.

Kilduff is a 1968 graduate of Merrimack College, where he majored in industrial management, and has done graduate work in business administration at Northeastern University.
