Time To Start Packing

With one month remaining until the key to the new Campus Borlänge is handed over, it's time for you to start decluttering and packing. Be sure you have finished packing either before you head off on your summer vacation or by 1 August at the latest.

Packing Instructions

Use the Moving Boxes

Pack everything you can into the available moving boxes – but be sure not to fill them so that they are overly heavy.

You can get moving boxes and labels from Vaktmästeriet (the caretaker's office) at Campus Falun, in a copy room in Hus 26 in Borlänge, or just outside your office if you’re still in the main Campus Borlänge building. 

Declutter

Sort and declutter before packing. Do you have a desk drawer unit? Remember to empty it since it won’t be going to the new premises.

Label Moving Boxes Correctly

• Name
• Floor
• Your new room number: for example, 3533. If you will be working in the open-plan area, label your box according to the room number: 2542, 3575 or 3503. The first digit in the room number indicates the floor you will be on.

Each floor of the new campus has its own designated label colour. The one you need to use depends on which floor of the new campus you are moving to: ask your manager since it is their responsibility to give you this information.

• Floor 0= Purple
• Floor 1=Green
• Floor 2= Brown
• Floor 3= Yellow
• Floor 4= Blue

Computers and Monitors 

Your personal computer (DUPC) is to be packed down in the rucksack/bag that came with it. You can of course take your computer home with you over the holidays.

The computer equipment (monitor, keyboard, mouse, and other accessories) should be packed into a moving box:

• Pack screens with the display surface facing the side of the cardboard box to avoid scratches and other damage. If you have two monitors, place these, if possible, in the same box with the display screens facing the sides of the box in opposite directions, i.e., not against each other. If you can, place something soft (bubble wrap or similar) between the side of the box and the monitor screen for extra protection during transport.
• All cables are to be removed from their connection points and wrapped to avoid breakage during transport.
• Place cables, docking station, keyboard, mouse, and other accessories behind/between the monitors in the box. Disconnect the network cable from the socket in the wall and pack it down.

NOTE: You are not permitted to take your monitor and accessories home if you do not get a permanent office space at the new Campus Borlänge since all equipment will be reused: contact support@du.se for information about where to leave your monitor. 

Finished packing?

Put a note on your door to say you have finished packing: write FLYTTPACKAT KLART. This signals to our move coordinator that your boxes are ready to be picked up and moved. 

Useful Information

• Do not label any furniture: there will be new furniture at the new campus. That said, if you have a customised office chair, such as a Håg chair, you will use this at the new campus, so please label it the same way as you labelled your boxes.
• The office workplaces on the new campus have standard furnishings, and you can find out what the rooms contain in the display offices on Campus Borlänge in the main building.
