As the leading provider of school and university moving services, Corrigan has had the privilege of working with hundreds of educational facilities. We’ve assisted public and private schools at the local level, as well as relocating higher learning facilities and departments for our nation’s most prestigious colleges and universities. We understand the multi-faceted complexities that surround institutional learning and stand ready to provide a vast suite of relocation services catered toward schools and higher learning institutions.
More often than not, we encounter educational facilities with restricted project dates occurring primarily between the months of June and September. We participate annually in several local school moves of nearly every scope and size. Whether you need items moved inside of a school or are moving everything to a newly constructed building, Corrigan Moving Systems is the authority when it comes to moving schools the right way.
To determine the scope of your job and to create a comprehensive plan, an overall project assessment must take place. During this process, relocation professional from Corrigan’s school and university moving services team will conduct a “walk-through” of the facility (or facilities) involved. They will gather information related to the size and scope of the school moving project, including the location of all items to be moved.
While the general location is assessed, our school relocation expert will also be identifying furniture and equipment involved as part of the move. They will be asking questions, such as whether any furniture will require disassembly and reassembly as part of this project. If disassembly is required for cubicles or other office furniture, our experts will also want to know if there is any reconfiguration planned for reassembling.
During this walk-through process, technology such as computer systems, monitors, media, and other equipment will be identified. Our school relocation expert will be considering any disconnect and reconnection services required. In the case of moving science laboratories or technology labs, our experts will be extra sensitive to items needing special care and handling, including high-value equipment, specimens, or hazardous materials being moved.
While our school relocation expert works to confirm the tangible goods needing to be relocated, they will also be gauging additional, and perhaps not-so-obvious needs of the project. They’ll be considering packing materials and supplies such as how many totes, stickers and boxes are needed, as well as carts and speed packs required. You’ll never be left guessing about any detail related to your school and university moving services.
Once the details of the project are understood, Corrigan’s school relocation expert can compile the information and provide a cost estimate for the project.
After the heavy lifting of ensuring all details are covered, it’s time for Corrigan’s school relocation movers to step in and do the literal heavy lifting. Given the information and details shared from the initial project assessment, our moving team will be prepared to do the work necessary and keep the project on schedule. During the initial move-out phase, our team will ensure the facility is properly protected, including securing all door jams, walls, and floors in traveled areas. We will work to properly label each area and the belongings being moved, complete any necessary packing as well as properly disassemble and pack any equipment needing our crew’s attention. Our team will arrive on time, with the proper equipment to ensure all timelines are met.
Phase II of the school moving project is essentially the reverse of phase I. Our school relocation movers will again ensure the building and facilities are properly protected, securing all traveled areas, including door jams, elevator entrances, walls, and flooring. Items will be delivered and relocated to their properly designated location. Our moving crew will work to reassemble any furniture, before reconnecting equipment and devices.
Once items are successfully delivered to their proper location, and all reconnection services have been completed, our team will conduct one final walk-through with assigned school representatives to ensure that all work has been properly completed to the highest-level that Corrigan is known for.
Corrigan provided excellent communication and customer service from the beginning. They made sure to check in throughout my move, were receptive to my questions, took great care in handling my possessions and did what they’d say they’d do. The move went smoothly and stayed on schedule. Moves are stressful at best but Corrigan ensured that this aspect of the move was one less thing to have to worry about.
I was in charge of helping my mother-in-law move. Mike S at Corrigan who came out and did the estimating, did a great job helping explain the whole process to me since I had never done a cross country move. The whole process went so smoothly and everyone was so helpful and informative. I could not have been happier throughout this whole process.
No matter where you are, or where you are going, Corrigan Moving’s Great Lakes locations will take you wherever you want to move in the world.
