New furniture can be received, delivered and installed either by the vendor of the furniture purchase, at an additional cost, or by the University's Surplus & Material Services division. Information regarding these services and associated costs can be found on the Material Services website at this link:

If the existing furniture will be sent to the Material Services Warehouse, it is considered Surplus and a Surplus Form is needed. Please coordinate with Material Services to have existing furniture picked up in conjunction with new furniture deliveries.
If your existing furniture is in good condition, please see the Furniture Swap section below to determine if there is another SAS department that can use it instead of sending it to the Surplus Warehouse.
For assistance with coordinating the removal of existing furniture with new furniture delivery, please contact us.

Furniture Swap
The SAS Space Planning and Facilities Management (SPFM) Team has developed a group within Microsoft Teams to facilitate the sharing of furniture among departments within SAS.
Our aim is to encourage reuse and give new life to items that are no longer needed within your department.
This initiative can be compared to Facebook's "Buy Nothing" groups, offering a platform for departments to exchange furniture items before resorting to purchasing new ones.
To ensure the smooth operation of the SAS Furniture Swap, please adhere to the following guidelines:
1. Anyone within SAS is welcome to join the Team. We ask that you please submit requests for new members to
2. Departments are responsible for coordinating the relocation of items and covering any associated costs via Material Services.
3. Unless mutually agreed upon beforehand, the department receiving the items will cover the moving costs.
4. There is no guarantee that posted items will be taken by other departments. Please include a date with your posting indicating when the items need to be claimed by.
5. IF THE LISTED ITEM IS NOT TAKEN BY ANOTHER DEPARTMENT, IT MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE MATERIAL SERVICES SURPLUS SITE FOR PICK-UP.
6. When posting your item(s), please include a photo of the piece along with its dimensions (length x width x height).
