Furniture Policy
The Office of Procurement must ensure that all furniture
purchases meet established ergonomic standards, comply with
ADA statutes, and adhere to campus standards. Furniture includes: chairs,
desks, tables, modular and panel workstations, etc. Procurement
will coordinate the space planning, furniture purchases and
installation with a single department contact. The department
contact will be responsible for coordinating all University
work orders for power, data and telecommunications as well
as ensuring the space is ready upon installation. The department
contact will also work with the installers to ensure the agreed
upon plan is followed and will note any discrepancies, shortages,
damages, etc.
