PACKING AND MOVING INSTRUCTIONS FOR FACULTY AND STAFF

Please notify Facilities Management about your upcoming move by submitting a service request. Let us know if you have any time constraints so we can plan and complete the move to your satisfaction.

If you are moving because of a renovation, a service request is not required.

SUPPLIES

Facilities Management will provide:

• Packing boxes
• Moving stickers (please do not use labels that are not removable)

Your department or school is responsible for providing:

• Markers
• Tape
• Other incidental items for the move

PREPARATION

• Empty all desks
• Remove all personal valuables, pictures, loose belongings etc. and store them in another location during the move or renovation
• Unlock and empty all shelves, bookcases, credenzas and storage cabinets and pack the contents in boxes
• Empty all two, three and four drawer lateral-type filing cabinets and pack the content in boxes (lateral cabinets are not structurally stable enough to be moved when they are full)
• Tape all moving boxes at the top and bottom with packing tape, not masking tape
• Clearly mark all boxes on at least two sides with your last name and initial, plus the room number of each box's final destination
• Clearly mark all furniture items that are not surplus with a removable moving sticker that includes your name and the room number of the item's final destination
• Phones should not be disconnected or packaged
• If you are moving due to a renovation, Facilities Management will coordinate any required computer moves with IT
