A key element of AUC's upcoming relocation to the new campus is securing and installing the immense quantity of furniture required to furnish the 4500+ spaces that comprise the new facility. The university, along with its special consulting and management teams, has been working diligently on this issue for the last few years. As a result of this effort, a steady flow of custom-designed furniture, specially manufactured for AUC, is beginning to be delivered and installed on the new campus; the rest is on schedule and will be coming shortly.
As staff and faculty begin to occupy their new offices and work spaces, there may arise a need to adjust the use of assigned spaces and change or modify the furniture configuration in specific areas. At this critical time, staff and faculty should hold on to these requests and not advance them to the furniture team. At the present time, this team is totally occupied by issues of production, quality control, delivery schedule, custom installation, etc.
Similar to any major relocation, there will be a better understanding of actual needs and requirements after the move is complete and the community begins to settle in to its new home. Once the move is fully complete and dust has settled, the university administration will be glad to look into and deal with any individualized furniture needs and requests.
