New in Duke Blue: A Conversation with Tom Morrison
Video interview with host Antwan Lofton, Vice President for Duke Human Resources
This is part of the New in Duke Blue series, which introduces new Duke leaders to staff and faculty to help them get to know the people who are helping set the course for the university’s second century.
In this episode of New in Duke Blue, Antwan Lofton, Vice President of Duke Human Resources, takes a walk around Abele Quad with Thomas A. Morrison, Vice President for Facilities.
Morrison began at Duke in June of 2025. Prior to joining Duke, he served for 16 years as Vice President for Capital Planning and Facilities at Indiana University.
In this role at Duke, Morrison leads Duke University’s planning, design, construction and renewal; engineering, utilities and energy; buildings and landscape; housekeeping; sanitization and recycling; and administrative functions.
“What excites me is the renewal of our infrastructure," Morrison said. "Duke has embraced its need to look to the future, but also looking to its past, and its history and to keep that going."
