Physical Plant Grounds

In 2021, after the retirement of longtime grounds manager Phil Baker '71 and others on his crew, care of Westmont's beautiful grounds and athletic fields was outsourced to skilled professionals who have worked on the college grounds for years, along with the continued maintenance done by Westmont groundskeepers.

Under the direction of Tom Beveridge, director of physical plant, the majority of grounds work around campus is done by locally owned Cold Springs Landscapes.

Paul Cushing, a highly acclaimed fields specialist, oversees the work involved in maintaining our world class athletic fields. Paul brings with him Jorge Santos, who most recently worked as golf course superintendent for a major golf course management provider in Southern California.

The grounds department cares deeply about keeping Westmont beautiful. Our knowledgeable and friendly staff works hard to make sure our trees, lawns and pathways are well cared for.
