curator

Hebrew translation: אב בית

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:curator
Hebrew translation:אב בית

Education / Pedagogy / a job/profession in university
English term or phrase: curator
John Smith is the university's curator since...
OR
The university premises are leased from XXX and the curator is responsible for the electricity, cleaning and other utilities.

I hardly think אוצר fits here. I thought maybe dean, but then, why doesn't the text say dean?
אב הבית is a consideration, but I'm not sure it fits the university's location in Sweden.

So I ended up with ממונה and I'm looking to confirm or get better suggestions.

TIA
