Alexandria Roe, director of university planning for the University of Connecticut, has been named the recipient of the second annual “Woman of Accomplishment in the Architectural / Engineering / Construction Industry” award by Professional Women in Construction – Connecticut Chapter. The award was presented to Roe on September 20, 2011, in a ceremony held during a PWC-CT monthly meeting and professional development program at the Marriot in Rocky Hill, Conn.
As director of university planning, Roe oversees the development of the UCONN’s physical environment. She is responsible for all planning and programming efforts, real estate activities, space management and environmental policy. Previously she worked as the assistant vice chancellor for planning and technical services for the Connecticut State University System. She obtained her Bachelor of Architecture from Virginia Tech, and is a licensed architect in Massachusetts as well as in Connecticut. She serves as a member of the North Atlantic Regional Council for the Society of College and University Planners, and is a member of the Association of University Architects, the American Institute of Architects and the Association of Higher Education Facilities Officers.
The “Woman of Accomplishment” award, newly created last year by PWC-CT, is designed to honor a woman who has been working in the A/E/C industry for at least 10 years, and who exemplifies outstanding professional achievement, performance and contributions within her field of endeavor. Last year’s award went to Lynn R. Fusco, CEO of Fusco Corp.
