Departments are being relocated as part of the University's Space Optimization Initiative. The initiative is designed to improve collaboration, better utilize campus facilities, support modern workplace needs, reduce deferred maintenance costs, and position departments closer to the resources they use most frequently.

Move schedules are reviewed regularly and may change as planning progresses. The information below reflects the current status of planned department relocations.

• Pack the contents of your existing work area: desk(s), bookcases/shelves, credenzas, closets, etc. 
• Large items should have a label placed directly on them (i.e. shredders, etc.)
  • Do not forget to label your trash and recycle bins 
• Small items should be placed in a labeled box
  • Remember to use packing materials (i.e. packing paper) if necessary 
  • Very small items like paper clips, loose pens/pencils should be put into envelopes, baggies or smaller boxes prior to being placed into a moving box 
• Any items which are small enough to be moved in a standard moving box should be packed. Boxes that are large enough (about the size of a copy paper box) do not need to be repacked – simply apply a moving label directly to the box 

• Labels should have your name and new room number on them
  • Identify Building; Floor (if appropriate); Room #; Your Name
  • If there is more than one box, add to label for example:
    • 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3 (for three boxes, etc.)
• Place label on the SIDE of boxes
• Place label on any furniture that is moving (as needed)
• Place label on your chair (NOTE: put a piece of tape around the label to keep it from falling off)
• Anything without a label will NOT be moved 

• Please take home all personal items and/or move them yourself including laptops 
• Movers will not be held responsible for personal items or valuables during the move 

• Please do NOT disconnect any of your computer equipment -your IT support team will take care of this 
• Fill out labels for all of your computer accessories (i.e. keyboard, mouse, docking station, monitors, etc.). Your IT support team will pack all IT equipment 
• Movers will move to a new location 
• Your IT support team will return and reconnect at new location 

• Please leave all storage keys either in the lock or in the top drawer 
• Please turn in your office key (if appropriate) to FD&O Work Control desk 
• If you need to request keys/ access for your new space, please do so here.

• Be packed by 3:00pm (day before the move).
• Move will start at 9:00am
• Move Team will need access to your desk; we will not be able to accommodate you working at your desk while we start the relocation

A Move Champion is a designated representative for your department who serves as the primary point of contact throughout the relocation process. They work closely with the Space Optimization team, Facilities Development & Operations (FD&O), and Information Technology (IT) to communicate updates, coordinate planning activities, answer questions, and help ensure your department is prepared for a successful move.

Your Move Champion will:

• Communicate important updates and key dates throughout the move process.
• Coordinate preparation activities including packing, labeling, and department readiness.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for department questions and concerns.
• Work directly with FD&O and IT to communicate department-specific needs and help resolve issues.
• Share resources, checklists, and guidance to help ensure a smooth transition.

By working through a single department representative, communication is streamlined and departments receive consistent information throughout the relocation process.
