FAQ
Will staff and faculty be able to take furniture from their old to their new office?
None of the furniture from the downtown offices will be included in the move. The new campus offices will all be equipped with custom-made furniture specifically designed for maximum comfort and flexibility.
When will I be able to see my office on the new campus?
Even though tours of the new campus are scheduled to begin at the end of this month, AUC’s faculty and staff will have to wait a little longer before they can visit their new offices. There are currently over 7000 construction workers on the new campus site working around the clock in two shifts to complete the project, including the interior of the buildings, on time. In order to prevent any disruption and avoid all hazards of scaffolding, no internal spaces can be visited at present. The campus tours will however be adjusted accordingly as construction progresses.
