STORRS — The man in charge of the University of Connecticut’s billion-dollar rebuilding project resigned effective Dec. 31.
Larry Schilling, who served as UConn executive director for architectural and engineering services, was placed on paid administrative leave in early November.
His resignation letter was dated Dec. 22.
The move by officials to place Schilling on leave came after a number of building and fire code violations were found at three of the university’s new housing complexes. The problems are currently being corrected and did not require students to move out of their apartments.
Schilling, who had been at UConn for 15 years, was being paid $150,670 a year. He has no severance package, but will receive accrued vacation time, said spokesman Karen Grava.
