Derek Allan, who died May 30, 2023 at the age of 93.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Mr. Allan, who was born in Elgin, Scotland, March 13, 1930, emigrated to the United States with his wife, Helen, and their children in 1958, settling in Plattsburgh where his work with the firm Sargent, Webster, Crenshaw & Folley resulted in the development of the 1960 master plan for South Burlington. He joined the SUNY Plattsburgh staff in 1963 as facilities program coordinator as the college was beginning its construction boom, which included a number of residence halls, Clinton Dining Hall, Feinberg Library, Kehoe Administration Building and the Angell College Center, among other buildings. He was named facilities director in 1978. One of his final large-scale projects was the renovations to Hawkins Hall in the early 1990s. Mr. Allan retired in June 1995 after 32 years with the college.</p><p class="MsoNormal">There were no calling hours.
