Prior to his senior vice president role, which began in 2014, Lehnertz was the director of Planning, Design and Construction in Facilities Management. His responsibilities included campus master planning, capital project management, and campus space management. He started at the University of Iowa in 1994 as an architect and project manager. As university architect, a primary task for Lehnertz was the recovery of the campus following the 2008 devastating $700M flood event. Due in large part to involvement associated with the transformation of the UI campus after the disaster, Lehnertz was named Iowa City’s 2013 Person of the Year by the Iowa City Press-Citizen. In 2006, Lehnertz co-authored The University of Iowa – Guide to Campus Architecture, a book celebrating the many notable building designs on the UI campus. A second edition, which included the campus emergence from the 2008 flood, was published in 2016.
