Supplies for Returning to Campus – Related to COVID-19
Over the past few months, many safety and cleaning products have been delayed or are unavailable through regular Vendors. Procurement is working hard to secure the supply of essential products using a centralized approach to ensure security of supply and control of price.
Learn about all of the options available to you on our COVID Purchases for Campus - Supplies & PPE page here.
The purchasing of furniture for Western has been greatly streamlined through the use of Western Marketplace and the assistance of an expert designer in Facilities available to you at no charge. Here are a few guidelines to help in the process:
For Standard Furniture Needs
(Seating, tables, sit-stand desks, file cabinets, side chairs, etc. using department budgets)
Log into the Western Marketplace and shop the furniture suppliers with whom we have preferential pricing, excellent warranty (10 yrs on most items), and delivery direct to your office location!
There are a range of options and price points to meet any budget needs. Delivery time for most items is 2-3 weeks. Placing your order directly through the Marketplace is a quick and efficient method of getting your order processed.
