Are old file boxes cluttering up your work area? If your record retention policy says you need to keep old files and you have no place to keep them; please e-mail purchasing@acu.edu to rent a storage unit at our warehouse.  The units cost $24.99/month and we will pick up all boxes from your office and transfer them to your own storage unit. We will pick up or deliver any of your boxes at your request.  For the purpose of easy retrieval please number or catalog your boxes so we can bring you the one you need whenever you request it.  Other than that, send us an e-mail and leave the rest of the work to us.  If you have any questions regarding this service please contact University Purchasing at 2246.

University Purchasing is excited about our partnership with Facilities regarding the purchase of white boards and tack boards. We are requesting that all orders be initiated through the Facilities office. If you need a board go to www.claridgeproducts.com and research the board you need. They customize boards so if you do not see the one you want they can make it for you. Once you have the specifications for your board email Facilities at facilitiesmgmt@groupmail.acu.edu and put in a work order request to order and install your new board. Be sure and include your FOAP in the email. Claridge Products gives us up to a 58-60% discount form market price on all of our orders. Not only will you save money on your board but Facilities will already have a work order in their system to install it upon arrival. By utilizing Claridge Products web site and Facilities work order system we can guarantee cost savings and create a streamlined installation process which will save your time and money. If you have any questions please contact Purchasing by emailing purchasing@acu.edu or call x2246.
