Planning a Defense Industry Office Move

Many defense and aerospace firms keep administrative offices in commercial buildings near the bases around Colorado Springs, from the Powers corridor near Peterson Space Force Base to suites north toward the Air Force Academy. This page covers moving those administrative suites, in commercial buildings off base. It does not cover anything on a military installation.

Your security office runs the rules, and we follow them. They decide which rooms the crew may enter, whether they need the crew's names in advance, which badges or visitor passes are issued, and who escorts the crew. Secure rooms and anything classified stay with the firm: your staff clear, seal, and move that material under your own procedures, and the crew does not enter those rooms. What we move is the ordinary office around them: workstations, conference rooms, reception, program administration desks, supply rooms, and the break room. Cartons get neutral labels, room and seat numbers instead of program names, so nothing sensitive is written on the outside of a box. The landlord's building rules apply on top of the firm's.

Who usually signs off
Facilities or workplace lead at a defense or aerospace firm, with the firm's security office approving access and the landlord setting building rules
Timing that works
Around program milestones and proposal deadlines, often after hours or on weekends so escorts can be staffed, as your security office and landlord allow.

What typically moves

  • Program administration workstations Tagged by room and seat number only; computers and monitors are unplugged, moved, and reconnected where your IT team allows.
  • Conference and proposal-room tables Moved after your staff have cleared whiteboards, wall displays, and every document.
  • Reception desk and visitor seating Moved first or last, as the security office prefers for visitor control.
  • Lateral files from unrestricted areas Emptied into cartons that staff seal and label with neutral codes.
  • Supply-room shelving and break-room furniture Packed and moved as ordinary office contents.
  • Shred bins and locked cabinets from open areas Moved locked, or left for your shred vendor, as the security office decides.

Access and scheduling

Escorts decide the pace. If every crew member needs an escort in controlled areas, the firm staffs escorts for the hours we are there, which is why many of these moves happen after hours or on a weekend, on request. Send us the security office's requirements early: names, citizenship or identification rules if any, vehicle details, and arrival times. We give you the crew list the office asks for and keep it the same from walk-through to move day where possible.

The building has its own rules. Suites along the Powers corridor and near Schriever are often in multi-tenant office buildings with a shared dock and elevator, so the landlord's move hours and Certificate of Insurance requirements apply as well. When the firm's security office and the landlord point to different entrances, both of them agree the route before the date.

Protection and handling

Neutral labeling is the main protection here. Cartons and furniture carry room and seat numbers keyed to a plan your staff keep, not program names or people's roles. Any carton your staff seal stays sealed and is handed to the person the plan names at the destination.

Beyond that, the office gets ordinary care. Workstations are padded, conference tables are broken down and wrapped, elevator cabs and door frames are padded on the route, and nothing is left in a corridor. If the crew finds a document, a drive, or a marked container anywhere on the route, they stop, leave it where it is, and tell the escort. Empty cabinets are checked by your staff before they are wrapped, so nothing travels by accident.

Who does what

Some of this job belongs to other trades. The written plan names each one.

Room permissions, crew lists, badges, and escorts
Your firm's security office sets them and the crew follows them.
Secure rooms and classified or controlled material
Your staff and security office move it under the firm's procedures. The crew does not handle it or enter those rooms.
Networks, secure systems, and workstation imaging
Your IT and security teams handle them.

Not part of our work

  • Any work on a military installation.
  • Handling classified or controlled material, or entering secure rooms.
  • Moving safes or security containers holding controlled material.

Around Colorado Springs and El Paso County

Colorado Springs is ringed by Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever Space Force Base, and the U.S. Air Force Academy, and defense and aerospace firms keep administrative offices in commercial buildings near each. The Powers corridor, the office parks off Garden of the Gods Road, and suites in InterQuest are common locations. Those names describe office geography only.

Defense Industry Office Moving FAQs

Another question? Call (719) 357-5865.

Who gives the moving crew its room list for our administrative suite?

Your facilities lead, after the security office has marked which rooms the crew may enter. We work from that list and the room and seat numbers on it, and ask the escort before entering any room that is not listed.

How should we provide a crew list to our firm's security office?

Tell us what the security office needs, such as names, identification details, and arrival times, and when. We send it by the deadline and keep the same crew from walk-through to move day where we can, so badges and escorts do not have to be redone.

Can the move proceed while our secure rooms stay occupied?

Yes. Secure rooms are off our list, so the crew works around them on the route the security office approves, and the escort keeps carts clear of those doors. Your staff move anything from inside those rooms under the firm's own procedures, on their own schedule.

What labels should we use if project names cannot appear on cartons?

Room and seat numbers, or a simple code your staff key to a plan they keep. We label and unload by that code only. Nothing written on the outside of a carton should tell anyone what is inside or whose it is.
