Coordinating Your Carpet Installation

Follow the instructions on this page for a trouble-free carpet installation.

The carpet installer or coordinator will call to schedule an installation date.

Your department representative must coordinate each step of the installation with the individuals listed below.

FURNITURE
If furniture removal is necessary, contact Jay Jacobson of the Physical Plant at 355-8485. You will need to send him a service request.

Please Note: All furniture must be removed before the carpet can be installed.

DOORS
If any doors need to be cut off prior to installation, please contact Deb Russell at 353-1760 ext. 327. You will need to send her a service request.

CARPET REMNANTS
Extra carpet will be left with you to use for any repairs in the future. Designate a safe place to store the carpet remnants and inform the installer of that location.

COMPUTERS
For assistance with computer cable relocation and hookup, contact Peter Chen at 353-5266, Computer Center Engineering Services.

TELEPHONES
For telephone relocation and hookup, send a service request to Telecom Systems at fax# 353-6633. For further assistance call 353-5515.

CLEANUP
After the carpet installation and the return of furniture is scheduled, contact Mark Lutkenhoff at the Physical Plant, 355-8485, for any necessary cleanup of new carpet, such as vacuuming. Small amounts of yarn and debris will remain. (Note - Installers do not have access to vacuums.)

*** Asbestos Note ***
If necessary, abatement of floor tile will be done the evening before your carpet is installed. The carpet coordinator, Paula Palmiter at 353-9468, will help you schedule this with Physical Plant.

With your help, we hope to make your carpet installation a smooth operation. If you have any questions, please call Paula at 353-9468.
