FAQ
University & Library Relocation FAQ
How do you ensure library collections remain in perfect Dewey Decimal or Library of Congress order during a move?
We use a specialized “directional labeling” system and sequential rolling carts. Each shelf is mapped and tagged before packing, ensuring every book is off-loaded and reshelved in its exact original sequence without any sorting errors.
Can MoveMates manage the relocation of sensitive laboratory chemicals or hazardous materials?
We coordinate with your Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) department. While we handle the physical move of equipment, we ensure all chemicals are packed in specialized spill-proof secondary containers and transported according to strict institutional safety guidelines.
How do you protect rare, fragile, or high-value archival documents during the transition?
Archives are placed in acid-free, climate-controlled containers and moved via a strict chain-of-custody protocol. We utilize non-marking, vibration-dampening transport methods to prevent any physical degradation of brittle paper or delicate historical artifacts.
Does your team handle the disconnection and reconnection of computer labs and server rooms?
Yes. Our IT-certified crew manages the systematic cable labeling, disassembly, and reinstallation of workstations. We ensure that every monitor, peripheral, and server is reconnected correctly so your lab is functional the moment students return.
What is the process for moving oversized items like grand pianos or heavy shop class machinery?
We use specialized rigging equipment, including heavy-duty skid boards and lift-gates. Our team is trained in the unique balance points of large instruments and industrial tools, ensuring they are secured properly against shifting during transit.
How do you minimize disruption if the move must occur during active campus hours?
We establish “silent zones” and utilize low-noise equipment. Our crews use designated service corridors and elevators to avoid student traffic, ensuring that lectures and study sessions can continue undisturbed while the physical relocation is underway.
Can you help with the disposal of old classroom furniture that isn’t moving to the new site?
Absolutely. Beyond moving, we provide decommissioning services. We can coordinate the eco-friendly disposal, recycling, or donation of surplus desks and chairs, ensuring your old facility is left completely empty and “broom-clean” for the final walkthrough.
