Marla Greenman, Facilities Manager

Biography

As Facilities Manager at the Arnold Arboretum, I oversee the care and maintenance of the built environment. As a long-time Boston resident, I’m honored to bring years of hands-on experience in fine woodworking, carpentry, and construction management to a place so special to me. I bring a deep knowledge of building systems with a focus on sustainability to ensure optimal comfort, life safety, and regulatory compliance.

My background is in fine arts—I got into carpentry and construction soon after graduating and never left. During my off hours, I enjoy local art, music and food. I also keep an endless list of home and gardening projects, and furniture designs to create.
