Antonio Mendes in front of The Rockefeller Library
Antonio Mendes may look familiar to you. A Facilities Management staff
member, Antonio can often be found out in the community, meeting with
neighbors to gather ideas and feedback to ensure their perspectives inform
construction planning and activities. For example, he recently worked with
neighbors of Perkins Hall to install a fence and plant trees. Lately Antonio
is spending his days making sure the University's grounds are safe and
attractive for both Brown and the surrounding community. In this new
feature, we hope to provide an opportunity for our neighbors to get to know
people, like Antonio, who are valuable contributors to our community.
