Kevin Smith, who has served Rensselaer with distinction for the past 41 years, will be retiring on June 20, 2025.

Throughout his remarkable career, Kevin has played a vital role in developing, managing, and maintaining the university’s comprehensive space inventory system — a task that involves overseeing over 4.7 million gross square feet of floor space across our Troy campus. With a deep knowledge of our facilities and a steadfast commitment to accuracy and detail, he has helped ensure that our academic, research, and administrative spaces are planned and reported effectively to support the mission of the university.

Kevin’s institutional knowledge, tireless dedication, and collegial spirit will be greatly missed. Please join me in extending our heartfelt thanks and best wishes as Kevin begins this new chapter.  If you would like to stop by for cake and well wishes, please come to the Service Building, 2nd floor, on Monday, June 16th between 10 - 11:30 a.m.
