FAQ's

 

Moves can be categorized into three general cases: new employees, transferring (internal) employee, and departing employee.

Below is a common checklist to think about if you are moving:

  • PHONES - Phone orders take a minimum of ten days to process. This can be even longer during the summer months. If you or someone you supervise is moving notify your phone point person immediately. If you have further questions, contact Francisco Ventura at 495-8951.

  • COMPUTER - Contact your FAS. Neither Facilities nor ITS supply computers for new employees. It is the responsibility of the supervising department.

  • FURNITURE - As a general rule, we move people not furniture. This means on moving day we will move all papers and books as well as computer set-up. Your desk, shelves and files remain. All offices at the Kennedy School are equipped with a desk, chair, files, and shelves, which are often customized to the building or particular office. If we can accommodate requests from storage to modify a room set-up, we are happy to do so. If there is no furniture available and the request is beyond KSG standards or growth is determined by the department, the department will be responsible for purchasing new or used furniture.

    Facilities will transfer small sized furniture at your request. Please fill out the Building Service Request form on Lotus Notes or click on the Building Service Request form in the General Service Section of this website. If there is heavy moving (i.e. desks) or moving across city streets, we will require the department to use a bonded union moving company approved by the University. If it is very small, you may sign out a two-wheel dolly with Building Services 495-1306.

  • BOXES - Facilities provides boxes for on-campus moves only. Boxes should not be used for personal use or cross campus transfers.

  • OFF CAMPUS MOVES: The Kennedy School is not responsible for moving employees off
    campus or to other schools at Harvard. Harvard University recommends the following local move companies that you are welcome to contact on your own:
