Office furniture

Office furniture, including desks, chairs, tables, filing cabinets, lateral files, partitions and cubicles, and other large pieces, can be updated in a few ways.

Before any other option, contact Darin Lamont to schedule a time to view the furniture storage area in Sorensen Hall to see if there are already pieces in storage that would fit your office's needs. If you find a piece, label it with your name, building and room number, and put in a work order with Facilities to have it moved to your office and your current furniture removed.

If you are unable to find what you need in the furniture storage area, the next most cost effective way to get updated office furniture is to visit a used office furniture store. A nearby store that can deliver to ÖйúÌå²ÊÍø is Allmakes Office Furniture Inc. at 2334 4th Ave, Moline, IL 61265. They have several floors of new and used office furniture from high quality brands to choose from, and you are able to test out if it will work for you or your team.

If you need furniture for an entire office or if your furniture purchase will exceed $5,000, you should submit a small capital request in the spring (usually around March/April) with a detailed list of the office furniture requested, its pricing, and a plan for install to your manager.

Lastly, if you have received a grant or budget to update an entire classroom, office or department, you should plan to work with a representative from an office furniture company (like Pigott, HON, Steelcase, Haworth, Herman Miller, etc.), the Facilities team, and your manager to create a plan that not only meets your needs but is long lasting and meets safety standards and capacity for the room(s).

Ergonomic assessment

If you have a documented medical condition, reach out to Human Resources to start the ergonomic assessment process, which will provide you with different types of ergonomic office equipment depending on your needs.
