Russell’s role didn’t change, but the demand for his services did.
As the university’s space manager, Russell has created digital floor plans of every space on campus, and his expertise has been critical as the university works to create an environment for students to learn and meet safely under necessary safety and physical distancing guidelines.
“As a William & Mary alumnus, my desire to get students back on campus and to keep them safe really stemmed from the enjoyable experience I had here as a student,” Russell said. “Being able to give students that experience made it easy for me to pivot because I really care for this institution and keeping students and faculty safe.”
