This notice is to explain some of the changes that will be occurring regarding the use of folding chairs and tables on campus. For reference purposes these are the folding blue chairs and folding brown tables you see at almost every event, big or small on campus.
Facilities Services is responsible for the purchasing, storage, and maintenance of all folding chairs and tables and unfortunately much of the inventory is used for purposes other than their intended function. This is not only a costly endeavor due to the increase demand for their use each year, but one that directly contributes to the shrinkage and damage of the inventory.
In preparation for the fall of 2006 all departments are asked to purchase any folding tables and chairs they may require, as we will no longer be providing them for any non-event use on or off-campus. Please feel free to contact the purchasing department with any purchasing request.
With regard to events, please do not send e-mails or use i-service for the reservation or delivery of the inventory. Instead, we kindly ask that all groups or individuals with any folding table or chair needs for any event must see Conference and Event Services so that we in Facilities Services can better track and hopefully cut down on shrinkage of our inventory.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call Lisa Belokur at 274-3225.
