Goddard College seeks an experienced project manager and skillful team-builder to manage the early but crucial stages of a project to “redesign” and “rebuild” historic student-designed campus structures. Specifically, the project manager will oversee creation of a long-range, phased project plan and budget; develop connections with alumni and local partners; oversee an initial round of volunteer renovation; and develop a plan for the next stage of funding and media outreach. The long-range goal is for these buildings, designed and constructed by students and faculty in the 1970s, to serve as the hub of a center for the arts and design at Goddard College and its home town, Plainfield, Vermont, revitalizing the arts and the creative economy by offering space and educational opportunities in the arts, design, and building trades.
