For personnel moving offices and who need to go “replacement shopping†for office furniture, please email Sonia Rademacher (srademacher@georgefox.edu) for an appointment to select office items. Those items include:
There is no need for an appointment if you only require office supplies.
For staff and faculty who are moving offices and require new items, please keep in mind that the quantities and style of furniture in surplus is limited.
If you do make an appointment to look at furniture, please have your office dimensions available so that those who are assisting you can know which desks to point out, as many desks are broken down for storage purposes, and some are designed for specific buildings on campus.
For all other furniture inquiries, please email Sonia.
Thank you!

For more information, contact the student life office (studentlife@georgefox.edu).
Staff and faculty interested in “shopping†for furniture at Plant Services are to email Sonia Rademacher (srademacher@georgefox.edu) to schedule an appointment to view items.

No appointment is needed if you are only looking for office materials such as binders, desk storage, file dividers, etc.
