As CEO of STG Holdings, Chris Jamroz leads a container freight station (CFS) network with more than 4 million square feet of warehouse space across the United States. Outside of his professional life, Chris Jamroz supports civic, cultural, and charitable organizations such as the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), which he serves as a member of its board of governors.
ROM began in 1914 as a joint venture between the University of Toronto, the government of Ontario, and several prominent local figures. Since that time, ROM has developed into one of the finest museums in the world. Among the museum’s many attractions is its entrance rotunda’s mosaic ceiling, which has garnered acclaim as an architectural masterpiece.
Made from Venetian glass cut into more than 1 million squares, the mosaic ceiling took more than eight months to install back in 1933. The ceiling’s style evokes Byzantine mosaics from centuries past while displaying images that represent cultures from around the world and throughout history. The 16 pictorial depictions on the mosaic include a bison from a cave painting, Romulus and Remus, an Assyrian winged bull, and a classical Greek temple, among others.
