Central Receiving

Central Receiving is the designated receiving point for most inbound campus freight deliveries.

Central Receiving is the primary portal for inbound campus freight deliveries. Upon receipt, freight is inspected for visible damage prior to coordinating delivery service or will-call. It supports safety and sustainability initiatives by minimizing the number of delivery vehicles on campus.
