STORAGE AND SHOW SPACE

STORAGE SPACE

Central Stores has storage space available that is heated, dry, and secure. The most common use for storage space is document storage. Central Stores can accommodate storage of items that can be safely kept on a pallet. A pallet is 40" wide by 48" deep by 48" high. It will hold 30-40 transfer files or copy paper boxes. The boxes are stacked on top of each other and the entire unit is shrink-wrapped.

The cost is $7.00 a pallet per month with a minimum requirement of 6 months storage. Or $84.00 a year for the equivalent of three (3) 5-drawer file cabinets.

With Central Stores storage, you can feel secure knowing that the documents are on campus and easily accessible if you need them. Access is available during normal business hours.

To reserve storage space for your department and to request pick up of your items for storage, please submit the online Storage Request Form.

To request access to your items already stored with us, please complete the Storage Request Access Form at least a day before you require access. Access to your storage items is available during normal business hours. If you have questions about this, please call 486-6297.

Please note that departments are required to keep track of their stored items. Central Stores does not inform customers of material that is outdated or forgotten. To dispose of stored items and/or to close out a storage location, send an e-mail to harold.ryan@uconn.edu.

SHOW SPACE

Central Stores has space available for vendor product shows and department information seminars. The new warehouse contains space ideally suited for this purpose. Vendors find our facility ideal for setting up and demonstrating equipment of all shapes and sizes. We have several multi-height docks and a ramp to access the show area. With the addition of electrical outlets in the show area, a wide variety of vendors and manufacturers can be accommodated.

Our location (behind the Police Department) is very convenient. The new warehouse is close to the North Parking Garage, near the campus core, and is easily accessible to facilities and purchasing personnel.

Our rental fee is $500 for a single day event held during normal business hours. The fee includes set up/take down of tables and chairs: up to 60 tables and 120 chairs. Additional tables and chairs are available at a nominal cost. If necessary, access to the area the afternoon before an event is to take place is also included.

Publicity for your event may be coordinated with the Document Production Center located in the New Central Warehouse building. If you wish to provide refreshments, University Catering can satisfy your culinary requirements, and they have table cloths and table skirts available.

To view the show area or to schedule your event, please contact Wayne Landry at 486-3056 or send an e-mail to wayne.landry@uconn.edu.
