1. Storage space at the University is very limited and must be used to the best advantage in order to meet essential University requirements. Wherever possible, therefore, departments are expected to meet their own storage requirements within their own space resources.

Policy

1. Central Stores, when it is appropriate, will provide storage space for the following:
   
   
   
   1. Goods and equipment which have been delivered on time but can not be installed due to delays in building construction, in cases where these deliveries could not be delayed.

       

   2. Goods and equipment which have been purchased in quantity to take advantage of price differentials but which are used progressively over a period of time.

       

   3. Goods and equipment which have been displaced by a re-allocat ion of space to meet other University requirements.

       

   4. Goods and equipment which have been provided by the University for the use of one of its officers or employees, when that officer or employee is temporarily away from campus and his/her space is required for other purposes during his/her absence.

2. The University will not provide storage for the personal goods or effects of any of its officers or employees.
