Trustees approve design for new Print, Mail and Receiving building on West Village
Summary
The board approved design and construction to relocate print, mail and receiving operations into a roughly 30,000-square-foot building on the north end of West Village, citing operational needs and CollegeTown campus planning goals.
Chief operating officer Jen Blavreich presented plans to relocate the university’s print, mail and receiving operations from the Turpin building to a site on the north end of West Village, describing the facility as roughly 30,000 square feet with an option for a second floor adding about 20,000 square feet.
Blavreich said the unit supports about 36 employees, handled roughly 11,500 print orders in the last year and processed more than 8 million printed pieces; the receiving operation handles daily freight and could see between 8 and 15 trucks per day at the new site. Trustees moved to approve the design and construction and the motion passed on voice vote.
"This is a building that's about 30,000 square feet," Blavreich said while summarizing the operational rationale and site-selection work that tied the project to the CollegeTown master-plan objectives.
