In addition, David will also be charged with the development, programming, and planning of any future Health Science Center capital projects in Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga and Nashville, along with managing all UTHSC real estate transactions.

The search for an associate vice chancellor for Facilities Administration was conducted internally. Shelia Cooper, special projects coordinator in the College of Pharmacy, chaired the search committee. The position will report directly to the executive vice chancellor for UTHSC.
