By tracking the acquisition and disposition of nearly 100,000 items, the VPF Property Office helps you manage your DLC’s equipment and furniture needs efficiently and economically.
The Property Office houses used furniture in a warehouse on campus and can help outfit an office for free, or for just the cost of moving it.
The Property Office administers a separate accounting program for equipment that is fabricated on campus.
Even if you have equipment donated to your lab or center, the Property Office must keep track of it in the Institute’s inventory system.
You can get a listing of all your DLC’s computers by emailing the VPF Property Office. In your message, list your DLC number or costs centers and specify how you want the report sorted—by location, person, account, equipment, or type.
