Scheduling

All requests begin by entering a service request to Facilities Management: Work request 

*Please plan on a 10-day advance notice

We schedule moves in the order they are requested. We will do our best to accommodate your scheduling needs, but our availability is limited at certain times of year, particularly during event** season and commencements. For best results, schedule your move as soon as you know your needs.

**PLEASE NOTE: Due to year-end events, we suspend all non-essential moves in early May to early June and late August (exact dates will be posted). 

 Move Request

To request moving services, please submit a Work request and include:

  • a description of the items that need to be moved
  • the current and future locations
  • your desired moving date
  • any special considerations:
    • Office furniture attached to a wall or each other? Let us know, send us a photo, and we will help determine if items need to be disassembled BEFORE your move.

NOTE: FMC is here to help, however, if upon arrival furniture needs to be disassembled, the move may be delayed.
