Many factors affect the timing of an office move. In general:
Three to six months in advance:
- Departments should identify an individual responsible for coordinating the move
- That individual should notify the Office of Facilities and IT of the office relocation by using the Office Move Form
- After notification, Facilities and IT will jointly meet with the department coordinator to plan the logistics of the move and identify move date(s)
- The department coordinator will notify colleagues affected by the move of the projected move date(s)
One to three months in advance:
