<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As my institution starts to plan for moving our natural science collections in a few years, does anyone have any guidance or advice for determining a budget for the physical move? Are there specific moving companies or types of movers I
should look into? Non-obvious packing or transport supplies? Something else? Note that things such as construction costs and cabinetry are already accounted for. I’m talking the actual packing and transporting between locations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance! Responses can be sent off-list.<o:p></o:p></p>
