AMHERST, Mass. – Juanita M. Holler has been named associate vice chancellor for facilities and campus services at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, according to Joyce Hatch, vice chancellor for administration and finance.

Holler, who will begin her duties on June 16, has 33 years of experience in programming, planning, design and construction, facilities management, and operations and maintenance of federal facilities, including the National Institutes of Health and Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

“We are fortunate to have someone of Juanita’s caliber and breadth of experience joining our campus,” said Hatch.

As associate vice chancellor, Holler will oversee Physical Plant, Facilities and Campus Planning, and Campus Services, which includes Transit Services, Parking Services, Office 2 Office, Creative Services and Travel Services.

A registered architect in several states, she began her career at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Md., where she spent six years. She then went on to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., where she spent five years as chief of the master planning branch. In 1984, she returned to NIH, where she held a variety of positions, including director of facilities planning and programming, deputy director of the division of engineering services, and director of the division of property management. Holler was also acting director of NIH’s office of research facilities development and operations in 2005-06.

She received a B.A. from the Catholic University of America, where she went on to earn a master’s of architecture in urban design in 1977.

Holler is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, an honor based upon her work in improving the environment through architecture.
