Exception requests to purchase from a non-VOR (exception of Steelcase) |

Note, furniture must comply to the university’s minimum furniture specification. |

Items that are considered quick ship, non-custom (e.g. keyboard trays, chairs, etc.), will be available for catalogue ordering on acQuire for each of the VORs. This will allow for ease of ordering and users will be able to complete a price comparison prior to checking out. |

A VOR representative will meet with you to determine your requirements; provide a drawing of the setup(s), which you are required to approve; and will provide you with a quote outlining delivery and installation costs.

Matching Existing Furniture |
Upper Canada Office Systems may still be used for matching existing Steelcase furniture systems only. |
Re-using or Recycling Furniture |
In an effort to streamline the process for getting rid of unwanted furniture, the University has implemented an item exchange network, ReUseIt@Queen's. This application provides a vehicle for the campus community to advertise items they no longer need for others to use with no cost attached. It could be anything: office supplies, furniture, equipment, etc. Using this site to exchange unwanted items saves money, ensures less waste goes to landfill and supports our campus culture of sustainability. For more information on obtaining used furniture, contact the Queen's University Waste Coordinator (Llynwen Osborne, ext 33396). If the furniture/equipment is broken and is not suitable for reuse, please visit the Waste and Recycling Request webpage to fill out the appropriate disposal form. |
Thresholds:
All non-catalogue furniture orders must be placed on a purchase order via acQuire with quote attached regardless of the value.
