Office Moves
The following guidelines are intended to help expedite the moving of offices
by providing a common understanding of who is responsible for the
associated tasks.
- The office occupant is responsible for packing their office contents in boxes and generally preparing their office for the move. If the occupant is unable to pack their office due to health or absence, such as a sabbatical, the department is responsible for developing a plan to pack the office. Facilities staff is not responsible for packing tasks.
- Department lounge spaces or other spaces with department-specific furnishings and equipment will need to be packed and prepared for moving by the department.
Designate a department representative as the main point-of-contact for the move. This individual will be responsible for:
• Coordinating with Facilities as to whether this is a project move or a department move.- A project move will be coordinated by a project manager
- A department move will need to be communicated through the work request system (TMA).
• Coordinating computer moves with the IT department liaison.
• Coordinating the move of copiers and other equipment
- Each box must be labeled properly. Labels must include the faculty or staff member's name and the new room number.
- Furniture that is moving with the occupant must be labeled with the faculty or staff member's name and new room number.
- Facilities does not supply packing supplies. Please order boxes, tape and bubble wrap from your current office supplier.
- All desk drawers, lateral filing cabinets, shelves, etc., must be unloaded and items packed in boxes. If you can't lift a box then it will be too heavy for others. Please reduce the weight so Facilities staff can handle it safely.
- Vertical filing cabinets up to four drawers, whose drawers can be removed, typically do not need to be unloaded. Where there are exceptions, the contents will need to be packed in boxes by the occupant.
- Please do not recycle hanging file folders. The metal will need to be removed prior to placing in the recycle bin.
- Facilities will move boxes and furniture only to on-campus locations.
- Facilities personnel will not deliver items off-campus or to homes. UNA trucks and vans cannot be used for this purpose either.
- Facilities personnel are not responsible for packing offices or other department spaces.
- Facilities will move boxes, furniture and all standing desks. Anything electronic, computerized or phones will need to be moved by IT.
