Distribution Center

To avoid confusion, here is a quick checklist of services the Distribution Center can provide. If you don't see the service you need listed, call or e-mail the Distribution Center and they will advise whether they can be of assistance or if an outside vendor is required.

Can Do

  • Provide on-site set-up (limited number of tables, chairs & stages available) for campus parties and special events, outdoor athletic actvities and seminars. Events requiring large number of tables and chairs will be referred to Patricia Hopkins in Contracts and Purchasing Department for cost of rental from off-campus vendor

  • Assemble or disassemble furniture or equipment, unless obsolete or surplus
  • Assist offices with long-term requests or requests from students

Remember

The Distribution Center has a limited number of tables, chairs, stages, etc. Available for campus use. During busy times or for a large event, the demand may be greater than the supply. The Purchasing Department can assist with the rental of equipment/furniture from an outside vendor the department making the request is responsible for all rental fees.

If the furniture or equipment has a Gallaudet ID tag, you need to complete a furniture & Equipment Inventory form and place with items to be moved.
