Planning for a Successful Office Move

Moving Day

Please begin your experience by filling out a Move Coordination Request Form. Facilities Management and Planning (FMP) has designated Fridays as campus move days. This allows for consistent scheduling. FMP wants to help to ease your anxiety about the office move process for the UNO campus. Let’s examine why proper preparation is in your best interest.

Plan Ahead

Facilities Management and Planning (FMP) requests that the move seeker complete and submit a Move Coordination Request Form from the FMP web page at least four weeks ahead of an anticipated move date.

Spontaneous approaches do not typically work well. Considerations in the following areas need to be considered:

• Utility provisions (electrical, network, etc.)
• Office painting
• Carpet cleaning
• Office keys
• Surplus furnishings relinquishment

Planning ahead may be difficult, it will also create a smooth transition.

Appropriate Packing is Pivotal

FMP can provide strategy assistance, however, packing up your office is your responsibility.

The contents of all file cabinets, desks, and bookcases will need to be packed up prior to your move date. This is an excellent time to purge unnecessary documents. Admittedly packing does require a great deal of effort but it is the key to a manageable on-campus move.
