Logistics Services for Schools
You’ve received a bond for school improvements! You’ll need a reliable team to move everything from textbooks to furniture, allowing teams to do their work during the summer. At Corrigan Logistics, we’re an experienced partner for school moves. We work with local charter schools and elementary, middle and high schools to remove and stage all materials to make room for upgrades and improvements.
Meeting the Unique Challenges of School Moves
As one of the largest school movers in the Midwest, our team understands the common challenges you will face:
- Tight timelines: Summer breaks offer a narrow window for extensive moves, renovations and setups. These restricted schedules necessitate meticulous planning and precise execution.
- Careful coordination: School projects require planning to minimize disruptions to academic schedules, particularly by ensuring all materials are in place before the next school year begins.
- Communication: Your school move often requires coordination between our teams, your school district and construction personnel. We work hard to make sure everyone knows what they need to do.
- Asset preservation: Your school has many high-value assets. We offer careful handling to protect everything from textbooks to specialized lab equipment and IT infrastructure.
Comprehensive Moving Services for Schools
Get your public school classrooms and other areas ready for work. We can remove all classroom materials and stage them in gymnasiums, cafeterias, or storage trailers, leaving the space open for renovations. Once the work is done, we’ll move everything back so you’re ready to start a new school year.
With Corrigan Logistics, you also get a project manager who can coordinate with construction teams or people from the school. This professional helps keep the job moving smoothly and ensures all materials are accounted for before, during and after the moving process.
In addition to moving physical goods from classrooms, we offer several specialized services.
Classroom and Media Center Packing
If necessary, we can pack everything to save your school the effort. Otherwise, you can choose to pack your own classroom materials, and then we will arrive and move them afterward. We offer detailed planning during the packing process for media centers. Our teams identify where all books and shelves go, so we can put everything back together correctly after renovations are finished.
Office Furniture Moving
We can take apart desks and other office furniture, whether in classrooms or administrative offices. We carefully disassemble them, organize the pieces and pack them securely to protect them during transport and storage. Once the work is complete, we offer professional reassembly services.
IT Equipment Packing and Reassembly
Our team specializes in IT, so we know how to move all computers and other IT equipment. We can remove and store it safely. We’ll make arrangements for temperature-controlled storage inside your school or at another school in your district to protect this sensitive equipment. At the end of the summer, we can connect all computers if you lack the IT staff to handle it. After reconnecting all technology, we’ll let you know which units need attention so your IT professionals can address them.
Why Choose Corrigan Logistics for Your Next Project?
We work with local schools to make your moving experience more seamless. Here are a few ways we stand out.
Resources
We have all the physical resources needed for the moving process, including reusable crates to help you save money on boxes. With us, you also gain access to the people you need for the job. We have teams of dozens of movers available to serve your school. We can start within hours after classes release for the summer and complete the moving process in one or two days. Our services help you maximize your small summer work window.
Experience
We complete projects in about a dozen school districts each year. Over our time executing school moves, we have dealt with hundreds of school districts. We learn from each school move, taking the experience that we can use to enhance the next project. Case studies we develop from past moves show us what worked well, allowing us to continuously improve.
Organization
In addition to assigning a project manager to oversee the move, we also assist districts in preparing. Ideally, we’ll meet directly with your school district before the process. We can sit down with teachers and let them know how to prepare, including what to pack, how to pack and how to label. This organization enables us to work more efficiently and ensures materials return to their proper places following a move.
We’ve also used our experience to build a school move checklist. You can use this resource to keep track of all the tasks you need to complete.
Trust
All of our movers and helpers are thoroughly vetted and undergo background checks. This process gives you greater confidence and trust in the professionals working in your school. You gain peace of mind knowing your staff and assets are safe throughout the move.
