Central Receiving

Central Receiving, as its name suggests, serves as the delivery nexus of campus, accepting incoming packages and routing them to the appropriate department. Their original building opened in 1962 [1] and is now the home of the University Press. [2] Their current building was opened in 1969 [3] as the Central Receiving Warehouse and by 1975 all operations had been consolidated into the building. [4]

[2] Campus Map 1968
[3] University Buildings Spreadsheet - Vertical File, University Archives gives the opening date as 1969, and their current location was not present on a 1968 map, so this would suggest their new building must have opened in 1969.
