Physical Plant: Plumbers, Steamfitters, Maintenance Mechanics Updates

30 North Mills moves through January 21, 2022

Some plumbing shop, maintenance mechanic and steamfitter employees (mainly leaders, supervisors and scheduling staff) who have been located on the third floor of 30 North Mills will be relocating to the fourth floor of the same building. Most of the employees who are relocating will be moving to their long-term workspace, but some employees will be in temporary spaces on fourth floor until construction and furniture installation is complete.

  • This move will largely be a “self-move,” meaning employees can put their belongings on a cart (boxes not necessary), take the cart upstairs and unpack it.
  • Staff can pick any day before January 21 to relocate.
  • FP&M staff can assist if an employee’s belongings need to move but the employee is absent, but there will not be external, contracted movers (e.g., C.Coakley).
  • AIMS is aware of the move and will be available to assist, but may not be on-site every day of the move. (Handy hint: Take a photo of your setup and plugged in cords before you start moving.)
  • If you need assistance, please contact your DMC.

This relocation is one domino in a series of steps that helps FP&M keep the overall project on-time. Thank you for your flexibility and teamwork!

August 26 Update:

Physical Plant employees,

With packing and condensing your area underway, we wanted to update you on the FP&M relocations and what you can expect next.

First, thank you for your cooperation in the first steps of this complicated process. The series of moves we are undertaking will require patience and flexibility across the division, and we recognize that in a time of a great deal of change for FP&M, the university, and each of us, adjusting to different work situations can be stressful.

Due to the interconnected nature of these moves, each step’s schedule is dynamic. With that in mind, we will keep you informed on overall progress, what’s next for your unit, and steps we’ll be asking you to take. We’ll also be reaching out with opportunities to hear more and provide your feedback. 

As you can tell, the schedule remains fluid and is affected by many factors. We plan to share regular updates with you and will give you as much notice as possible when action is required. Check back on the FP&M Relocation Hub soon for news and resources.
