Moving
Departments are responsible for arranging and coordinating all moves on campus.
We can assist departments moving on campus by:
- Moving office furniture and boxes from one administrative or academic location to another.
- Moving items moved to and from the physical plant warehouse.
Limitations
- Artwork (please contact the Sheehan Gallery for all art installations, 509-527-5249)
- Pianos
- Anything over 30 lbs
- Any large and expensive equipment that requires experts to move it
Scheduling
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 student move-in, move-out, reunions, and commencement.
Please Note: Due to year-end events, we suspend all non-essential moving services in early May to early June (exact dates will be posted).
Requests
To request moving services, please submit a service 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.
- Any office furniture attached to a wall or each other. Send us a photo, doohanlk@whitman.edu. and we will help determine if you need a disassembly crew BEFORE your move.
Cost
- Moves during regular business hours are free.
- Moves required outside of normal business hours will result in overtime charges.
