Info on departmental storage clean-out
If you are working on campus and find yourself with downtime, consult with your supervisor and department about cleaning out and organizing your departmental storage with the goal of reducing or eliminating the need for storage space.
When going through departmental storage, please consider the following:
- Is your storage space organized?
- How long has an item been in storage and how often is it utilized?
- Is it obsolete, outdated or expired?
- Should your files or item go to another department such as Archives, Plant Services, or IT?
- Are your files needed for accreditation or regulatory purposes?
- Does it need more secure storage (for example, items covered under FERPA)?
- Can your files be digitized?
Once normal operations resume, Plant Services will conduct a physical audit of all storage space on campus. Questions? Contact Dan van der Water at dvanderwater@georgefox.edu.
