Helpful People
The following staff people will help you plan and implement your project:
Dennis Finn. Dennis is in charge of grounds and vehicles for Facilities Services. He is the secret hero of the arts at Brandeis! Talk to Dennis if you are installing work outdoors: he can advise on how to secure your work, how to avoid hitting underground pipes and wiring, and in general how to keep things safe. If you need heavy pieces transported, fill out an online work order, and ask me (Ingrid) for the chargeline so that it will be billed to your grant budget. finn@brandeis or 781-736-4374.
