==== Medium to Large Deliveries (i.e. pallets, carrier deliveries) ====

Medium to Larger deliveries will need to be delivered to the Engineering Tower Loading Dock and scheduled with the computing support group one day prior.  Scheduling the delivery allows us to ensure that someone is available to accept the delivery and transport it to the data center.  Carriers may not be able to complete unscheduled deliveries.

When making large purchases that may need to be delivered via the loading dock, please provide special directions for the carrier.
