This includes a wide variety of both office furniture and guest furniture such as desks, office chairs, bookshelves, filing cabinets, sofas, stationary chairs, etc.

Delivery of Repurposed Items

Once you have picked out the items you would like to use, Warehouse Services will submit a delivery ticket with Materials Movement to have the items picked up from the warehouse and delivered to you. If you prefer, you may also take the items with you when you leave.

Asset Disposal

Asset Disposal is a service that focuses on moving long-term items that have served their purpose with Liberty University. With this service, we can sell these moved items on GovDeals and also to Liberty University Employees.

Furniture/Items for Sale

Any furniture or items for sale will be sold on the GovDeals website and on the Repurpose Furniture Inventory Dropbox folder labeled “Employee Sales”.  All items in the Dropbox folder are still available for reuse by LU departments until sold.

Employees interested in purchasing items must schedule a time with Warehouse Services to pay for and pick up items at the 12th Street Warehouse. These items cannot be reserved online when making a purchase, prices will be listed in the item description, and all sales are final. If an LU Employee would like to inquire about any items we have available, please contact us and our staff will be happy to answer any of your questions and/or schedule an appointment.


Department Storage

Sending Items

If your department needs items removed from their space and moved to the 12th Street Warehouse, email a completed manifest to warehousefacilities@liberty.edu. Within two business days you will receive an email approving, denying, or requesting more information about the manifest.  Once approved, Warehouse Services will submit a work order to Materials Movement to move only the items on the manifest.

Storing Items

A manifest for Warehouse Services must be completed and sent WITH the items needed to be stored. The department must have a plan for reuse to have items stored at the 12th Street Warehouse. Larger items such as furniture will only be stored for a maximum of 6 months. An approximate date for reuse MUST be provided.
