Summary:
This service is used by Space Planning and Information Technology (IT) to coordinate campus office moves, including computers, telephones, printers and/or faxes.
Space Planning serves as the project manager for moves and coordinates with IT, Facilities and the client. Space Planning attaches the approved "Move Schedule" to the ticket when it is submitted, so that everyone is informed. Office Move request dates are scheduled at least one week after tickets are submitted to ensure staff availability.
The Pathways Group in Network Services is the primary contact for Office Moves and coordinates with the Office Moves Group in Technology Support Services for hardware and software related tasks.

How much does it cost:
-
Smaller scale office moves seldom incur costs for IT support and relocation.
-
Larger office moves, and moves that require and/or are due to physical office reconfigurations may potentially have costs associated with the reconfiguration of the infrastructure and will be determined on a case-by-case basis. For example, costs may possibly include network ports and/ or power. IT will coordinate these types of needs directly with Space Planning.
