Furniture Policy

This policy applies to all furniture owned by the University and used within its campuses, buildings, offices, classrooms, laboratories, libraries, common areas, and any other University-affiliated spaces.

D&C is required to be involved in all office furniture purchases funded by the University. D&C must also be part of the relocation or installation of all campus furniture to ensure proper installation, to ensure that no building service or life safety device will be blocked or affected and that installation will meet all building codes and ADA compliance, if applicable.

Faculty, staff, and students are responsible for the appropriate use and care of furniture within their respective areas. They should report any damages, defects, or maintenance needs related to furniture to the Facilities Services department promptly.
