College & University Moving in Colorado Springs

Facilities sets the rules, and they differ by campus and by building. Expect a loading-dock reservation, a parking or vehicle permit for the truck, a set cart route, and an elevator booked through the building manager, and expect the rules at the sending building to differ from the receiving one. Summer is not an empty campus: camps, orientation, summer courses, and the renovation contractors themselves compete for docks and elevators.

Renovation moves also hang on the contractor's dates. A decant has to finish before demolition starts, and the move back waits on the certificate of occupancy and punch list, which can slip. We plan both legs when we book the first, and reconfirm the return once facilities has the building back. For a college office in leased space off campus, the landlord may want a Certificate of Insurance.

Campus buildings are shared, so the hallways get protected along with the furniture: corner guards at the tight turns, floor runners from the dock to the elevator, and door-stop control where fire doors would otherwise be propped. From October through April, snowmelt comes in on every boot, so runners go down before the first cart does.

Every piece carries a building, floor, and room from the facilities plan. During a decant we add a second tag for the swing-space room, so a desk that spends a year elsewhere goes back to the right office. Records rooms are packed and sealed by the offices that own them, and the crew moves the cartons closed. At staff desks our crew moves and reconnects each computer and printer; campus IT handles accounts, the network, and classroom technology.
