Carl Manning

Facilities Manager

"I like working with my hands and while I have administrative responsibilities at NOVA, there are always plenty of hands on projects for me to take on.  At NOVA I get to do this within a positive, academic environment which I love."

Fun Fact #1 — I like working in the yard and building things for my yard.

Fun Fact #2 — I take care of 14 hens, 3 cats, 1 dog, and 2 birds!

Fun Fact #3 — I have been a Star Wars fan since I was a kid and I enjoy reading about U.S. History.

I choose to work at NOVA because I get to see in person the tremendous, positive impact it has on young lives.  As facility manager I get to do a wide variety of projects to take care of the building and grounds.  No day is the same!

Land Acknowledgement

NOVA is located on the ancestral lands of the Steh-Chass band of the Squaxin Island Tribe and Nisqually Indian Tribe, who have long been stewards of the region’s waters, plants, and animals. The southernmost point of the Salish Sea, these lands were—and still are—a place of gathering, trade, and community for many Coast Salish peoples. We recognize that all who are not Salish peoples are visitors here. We commit to join these peoples to share their history, build relationships, increase representation, and restore the living world around us.
