Facilities and Operations

The Haskayne School of Business Facilities and Operations office works with many areas of the building to coordinate facility updates. The goal is to create an effective work and teaching and learning environment within Scurfield Hall. Should there be an issue with the building, we ask that you email facilities@haskayne.ucalgary.ca and we will work with campus services to correct the issue.

The following guidelines provide departments with an overview of how to prepare for an office move in Scurfield Hall.  Please note:  moves less than 2 hours in duration are handled by the SCM Furnishing Team (UofC) and many HSB moves are grouped into one 2-hour time slot. Facilities, IT, and Telecom require notification of 1 month (if possible) prior to the move.

It is critical that you are prepared:

  1. All packing must be completed 1 day prior to the move.

  3. Boxes can be ordered by Area Administrators through Grand & Toy.  Facilities may have a few boxes on site.
  4. Personal items should be taken home and returned to the new office on completion of the move, i.e.: small plants, pictures, etc. Movers will not be responsible for breakage or loss of personal items.
  5. Do not move your desk without consulting with HSB Facilities as we need to ensure all office furnishings meet fire and safety code.
  6. Whiteboards and corkboards should be left on the wall, or if they are to be moved, an I-request (Work Request) should be completed. Advise HSB Operations/Facilities if you intend to do this, and we can submit this request on your behalf. 
  7. Telecom will move your phone and provide a temporary password if needed. Operations/Facilities will arrange this. 
  8. Do NOT paint your office or supply your own furnishings.
    1. After the move, please return any empty moving boxes to the Operations/Facilities office.
    2. Dispose of all garbage - you may borrow the vacuum from HSB Operations/Facilities, however, you are responsible for emptying it after each use.
