Central Receiving
Central receiving warehouse staff receives the majority of bulk campus deliveries at its loading docks off Plains Road, breaks them down, and delivers these goods to the appropriate departments on campus. They provide the material support for all special events and handle a broad range of work orders. This also includes shredding of confidential documents.
Receiving serves as the storage facility for surplus office furniture, made available to all departments as needed on campus.
Contact us to order tables and chairs for any special events.
Equipment disposals are processed through this facility by contacting the secretary listed below BEFORE any transaction is made. For disposal of Federal items (with a yellow tag accompanying the URI#) click on the Federal Property page for instructions. For computer disposals, please follow these short steps: Call Elaine at 4-5468 to place a work order; the computer will be picked up and brought to Central Receiving and locked up, the hard drive will be removed, logged in and secured in a safe. Twice yearly, a Support Services staff member will transport the hard drives to the State's Recycling Vendor and observe the shredding of these drives. If there are any questions about this process, or the department requires special handling, please contact the Asst. Director of Support Services at 4-2760 for further information.
