Adrian started working at Humber in 1985 as a lab monitor. At the time he was a student in computer programming at Humber. 

He went on to have many different roles at Humber- a technician for academic computing, Network Admin and as Project Manager for Infrastructure Projects.

In 1995 Adrian, along with Greg Johnson and Kevin Adams, was the recipient of the League of Innovation award, chosen among all colleges in North America. They implemented a way for students in high school to take English competency tests remotely (WWW was in its infancy) so they could upgrade their English skills prior to coming to college. They presented their solution at a League of Innovation conference in Houston and subsequently presented in England and San Diego.

Adrian has a unique combination of IT experience and a background in construction gained by working his way through college working in the electrical trade. This unique combination of traits made Adrian a critical member of the team that has helped to build Humber from the ground up.

His attention to detail has led to the successful completion of projects like the cottage reno/builds at the lake, Lakeshore Commons, Guelph-Humber building, Birmingham, Centre for Criminal Justice, Fashion Institute, Medical Building, Arts Academy, Carrier, NX remodel, LRC, and the Welcome Centre, Athletics and G Buildings at Lakeshore.

Adrian has been the go-to person for ITS on all construction projects, his knowledge of the buildings and IT systems at Humber are unmatched by any other.

Adrian’s most recent accomplishment was to win the Wave of Excellence Award in 2016 for the design and construction of the HIVES in F building. These rooms leverage moveable furniture that can accommodate any teaching strategy. Adrian worked with Magno Cidade, Rebecca Muyal and a team to design the new audio visual solution in partnership with stakeholders.

Adrian’s last day at Humber is tomorrow, November 3. At Adrian’s request we won’t be having a party, but please do stop by to wish him well.
