Those moving into workstations will receive 2 crates, those moving into director/manager workstations will receive 3 crates, and those moving into offices will receive 6 crates. Packing guidelines will be distributed when you receive your color-coded tags during the marking and tagging process. When you pack, be sure to put your color-coded tag on the side of each crate.

Please note that if you will be out of the office during your area’s first week at 220, you will need to notify your move coordinator in order to receive cardboard boxes for your packing needs. A list of move ambassadors and move coordinators is available on our move site on FrontlineVNSNY.

 Welcome to 220 East 42nd Street

On your first Monday morning at the new location, VNSNY Move Ambassadors and Coordinators will be there to greet and direct you to your workspace. Color-coded floor plans will be on view right outside the elevators to help guide you to the departments and common areas on each of the floors. To help welcome and settle you in, there will be a welcome breakfast served in the cafes on each of the floors moving in.

Additionally, a Post Move Help Desk will be in place on the Monday and Tuesday following every phase of the move into 220 East 42nd Street. Representatives from Interior Move Consultants, IT, movers, the furniture dealer, and VNSNY internal staff will be on-hand to assist with all move-related issues and questions.  The post-move “Help Desk” will be set up in Room 5C05 from 7:00am-4:00pm. If you have any issues, (move, IT, furniture, facilities, etc.) questions or problems, there will be a dedicated extension to call for assistance. We will provide this number to you prior to the move.
