Welcome to Property & Support Services
Bill Matteson, Director
URI's Property & Support Services Department consists of Property & Inventory, Federal Property, Receiving, Postal and Printing Services. All five units are located off Plains Rd. in the University's Service Sector and combine staff and students in a work force involved in most University activities from delivery of new computers to computer assisted design of floor plans to moving the contents of entire buildings to creating technical reports for senior administrators. A sampling of each unit's activities follows:
Property & Inventory: These folks utilize a complex database to track all University equipment and space, handling state and federal audits, inventories and disposals of equipment large and small, as well as the development and delivery of space floor plans and on-demand data reports from an INSITE database.
Federal Property: If you need titanium to fabricate a part in the machine shop, a laptop for your research, a crane to unload a research vessel, or a street sweeper, this program can secure it from the federal government. New and good used furniture for one office or 30 can also be procured.
Receiving: Trailers back up to our loading dock and our forklift operators unload and break down shipments into smaller lots so that deliveries in smaller vehicles support our shift to a pedestrian friendly campus. All special events (from a Student Activities event on the quad to Graduation) are supported from Receiving with deliveries of tables, chairs, podiums, ferns and flowers to campus and off campus locations daily. University surplus and disposals are processed here, as well as shredding of confidential materials from all campus departments.
Computers are recycled within the URI community as well.
We offer our customers one stop service. All work orders are directed to Elaine at 874-5468 or sund@uriacc.uri.edu.
Postal Services: Our staff and students sort and deliver your mail to all four campus locations; process in-house all classes of USPS mail and FedEX packages (domestic and international); and provide daily courier service to state offices (as well as special on-demand services for time critical deliveries state-wide).
Printing Services: From business cards to department stationary and envelopes to multicolor brochures, they do it all for University departments as well as other state agencies in a fast, efficient fashion.
Our sole business is service and we welcome your feedback at matteson@uri.edu.
