Getting Ready to Move!

The move into the 4th wing is scheduled to begin the end of April! Points of contact for each bureau/office/group moving into the 4th wing or out of the third wing have been identified, a Move Guide has been developed, move meetings have been scheduled and initiated, and the move contractor and space planner should be on board in March to provide assistance. As we move closer to the actual move date, a Town Meeting will be scheduled with each bureau/office/group to respond to questions and concerns and to ensure a smooth transition into the new space.

Each employee will be assisted by the space planner to ensure that the furniture layout for the new office space is appropriate, and that excess/surplus furniture is identified and tagged.

All packing materials will be supplied. Plastic crates with dollies will be distributed to each person in an effort to reduce the use of disposable packing materials. The crates are self-closing and do not require the use of tape. Crates can be stacked four high, labeled as to delivery location and easily moved on the dollies.

Personal items can be stored in a safe room during the move. A room will be designated for each bureau/office/group and will be available three days before the move and immediately after to retrieve items.
