Academic-calendar-aware relocations for schools, universities, and research institutions, planned around semester breaks and tailored to protect labs, libraries, and learning environments.
Schools and universities have one window to move, and it is not flexible. Summer break, winter intersession, and spring recess are the only times campuses can relocate without disrupting instruction. Miss that window and an entire semester is at risk. SVM plans every phase around your academic calendar so classrooms, labs, and offices are ready before students and faculty return.
Lab equipment demands more than careful hands. Electron microscopes, centrifuges, and spectrometers require custom crating, vibration-dampened transport, and coordination with equipment manufacturers on disconnection and reinstallation. We treat your research infrastructure with the same precision it was built with.
Library collections are irreplaceable. Our crews preserve exact shelf order using sequential numbering and specially designed book carts, so cataloging systems remain intact from origin to destination.
From research instruments to a full library collection, planned around your academic calendar.
Precision handling for microscopes, centrifuges, spectrometers, and other sensitive instruments that research depends on.
Numbered book carts that keep every volume in shelf order, from the stacks to the new building.
Desks, chairs, whiteboards, and smart boards moved and reinstalled to your floor plan during the break.
Servers, specialized computing hardware, and climate-sensitive research materials handled with engineered transport solutions.
Networking infrastructure, projectors, sound systems, and computer labs disconnected, transported, and reconnected by certified technicians.

“We contracted with Silicon Valley Moving to move our company to our new headquarters. They initially sent a representative out before the move started, to give us a quote. A couple days later, several trucks as well as the crew promptly transferred all items from the office into the trucks. A portion of our office goods went to their storage, and the rest was hauled to our new headquarters. At destination, the crew offloaded all of our office goods and electronics, set up the monitors, and cubicles. Thank you everyone at Silicon Valley Moving & Storage for making this large move stress free. We will be using you again in the future.”

“The team at Silicon valley moving and storage is top notch. Very professional, hard working, and trustworthy. I had a recent short distance move they helped us with on two separate days. I truly appreciated their help orchestrating this relocation. I would absolutely use them again and give them my highest recommendation.”

We plan it backward from the first day of the next term. Labs, faculty offices, lecture halls, and shared spaces each get their own phase, and we start planning well before the break so every phase has a slot on the calendar.
High-value research instruments get custom crating and air-ride transport with vibration monitoring. We coordinate with the equipment manufacturer on disconnection and reconnection, and we carry specialty cargo insurance for scientific instruments.
We use a sequential numbering system paired with specially designed book carts that keep volumes in exact shelf order during transit.
Yes. We respond to RFPs and work within public-sector procurement rules. We provide a W-9, a certificate of insurance, and a detailed line-item bid, and we accept purchase orders.
We move residence hall furniture: bed frames, mattresses, desks, dressers, and common-area pieces. We can hold it in our climate-controlled San Jose warehouse and bring it back when the renovation is done.
Tell us what's moving and when the next term starts. We'll walk the campus, plan each phase around the break, and send a written quote.
