   The stone façade of the 275,000-square-foot complex, which houses around 500 students, required one of the largest bluestone and limestone orders in American history â€" more than 6,000 tons of stone in total, said Princeton Executive Vice President Mark Burstein.
   ...
   Burstein, referring to the college's massing and large footprint, called it "Collegiate Gothic on steroids."
   ...
   Burstein provided additional reasons for the decision to avoid entryways at Whitman. First and foremost, he said, were efficiency considerations: Entryways require lots of stairwells and circulation space, meaning that buildings that feature them can house relatively few students for their square footage. This is neither cost-effective nor environmentally efficient, he said.
   ...
   Burstein said Princeton was in no way "parsimonious," and Poprhyrios praised the university as a client.
   ...
   Burstein, talking about the decision to build Whitman in the Collegiate Gothic style, explained that college students today have similar desires.
   
   "Students really gravitate to residences that feel permanent and timeless," he said.
   ...
   Burstein said Princeton had considered building Whitman in a location more removed from campus ­â€" just as Yale is now planning to use a site many see as deficient because of its separation from central campus. Burstein cited the sense of disconnect felt by students in Forbes College, another residential college at Princeton and one that is somewhat isolated from the other residences, as a testament to the importance of Whitman's central location.

   ...
   Kasdin said that the University's philosophy towards community involvement will not change due to the departure of Lloyd and Burstein.
   ...
   Burstein left Columbia to assume the role of vice president for administration at Princeton University.

   AREW is pleased to welcome Mark Burstein, vice president for facilities management at Columbia University's Morningside Heights Campus, as our guest speaker on May 4th. Mr. Burstein will discuss Columbia's urgent need for space, as well as the continuation of their commitment to the communities of upper Manhattan and how that effort will bring economic and other benefits.
   
   The long-range plan of the project is to replace the aged industrial buildings in the area bounded by Broadway, 125th Street, 12th Avenue and 133rd Street with a tree-lined campus of quality buildings similar to those in the Morningside Heights campus.
   
   Mr. Burstein is responsible for the design, construction, maintenance and public safety operations for 10 million square feet of academic and residential campus buildings. Over the course of his tenure with Facilities Management, the University has spent over $400 million in construction and will have commissioned six new buildings by 2004, which will add another 500,000 square feet of space for University use. Before coming to Facilities Management, he served as vice president of student services and acting vice president of human resources for the University.
   
   Previously, Mr. Burstein was director of economic development for the Department of Sanitation where he led the initiative to create markets for recyclable material for the NYC recycling industry. Prior to working for City government, he was an associate in the Public Finance Division of Bear, Stearns & Company and a consultant for the Center for Applied Research. He holds a B.A. from Vassar College and M.B.A from The Wharton School. He is a trustee and co-chair of the Public Services Committee of the New York Citizens Budget Commission.
