Relocation Planning
Arrange for UCSD Moving Services to handle your vacating and relocating. Place your service request at least four (4) weeks prior to your targeted move date.
Pack and Label
- All packing must be done prior to the arranged move date.
- Everything that can go into a tote must be in a tote. These can be provided by Moving Services.
- Place a moving label on all totes, moving carts and any uncontained pieces of equipment. Labels should include building, room number and location within room. Put signs at the new location with the corresponding location information in the room or corridor to ensure your equipment is placed in the correct location.
- All computers, fax machines, copiers and printers must be disconnected. All cords must be removed and packed separately. Those cords which cannot be removed must be taped to the machine.
- Work with your department business office to coordinate off-site storage if you do not have enough filing space in your new office/lab.
Vacating the Former Location
- Everything must be removed from bookcases, shelving, bench shelving, bench tops, and from the tops of refrigerators, freezers, and file cabinets.
- Remove all posters, pictures, charts, etc. from the walls and bulletin boards. If too large to place in tote, add moving label to it. Coordinate with Facilities Management by submitting a workforce on-line prior to the move to be on hand to hang artwork, diplomas, whiteboards, keyboard trays, etc.
- Arrange for final cleaning of your former location through Custodial Services. The location must be properly cleaned and all contents, including equipment, whether operational or not, is removed. Your School, Department, and/or ORU administration will be charged if Facilities Management or EH&S are called in to address anything you failed to complete as part of your vacating the premises.
