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, and use acid-free materials for rare and archival items so cataloging systems remain intact from origin to destination.
From precision research instruments to an entire library collection, we have the expertise to handle every asset on your campus.
Precision handling for microscopes, centrifuges, fume hoods, spectrometers, and other sensitive instruments that research depends on.
Archival-grade handling, sequential shelf-order preservation, and acid-free packing materials for rare and cataloged collections.
Desks, chairs, whiteboards, and smart boards moved efficiently and reinstalled to your floor plan before classes resume.
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.

“The service was excellent from beginning to end. On the day of the move, the movers were professional, polite, hard working and most of all they listened. I have a couple pieces of delicate furniture and they took great care not only with those pieces but everything they moved.”

“The entire process was seamless, smooth, and efficient. Cheri was incredibly thorough and transparent when she walked our home and provided a quote. Sergio, Angel, and Carlos did our packing and our moving — they were conscientious, professional, and delightful. Nothing was broken, nothing was missing.”

“I've been working with Silicon Valley Moving and Storage for quite some time now and all of my clients have had nothing but amazing things to say. The moves are always seamless — a ton of attention to detail, wrapping furniture and art pieces as if it were their own. Professional and efficient!”

Yes. We routinely complete full department relocations — including labs, faculty offices, lecture halls, and shared spaces — within a four- to six-week summer window. We begin planning months in advance to ensure every phase fits the academic calendar.
High-value research instruments receive custom wooden crating, vibration-dampened transport, and climate control when required. We coordinate with equipment manufacturers on disconnection and reconnection procedures and carry specialized cargo insurance for scientific instruments.
Absolutely. We use a sequential numbering system paired with specially designed book carts that keep volumes in exact shelf order during transit. Our crews are trained never to stack books spine-down and use acid-free materials for rare or archival items.
Yes, we regularly respond to RFPs and comply with public-sector procurement rules. We provide W-9 forms, proof of insurance, detailed line-item bids, and any other documentation your purchasing department requires. We also accept purchase orders.
We handle large-scale residence hall moves including bed frames, mattresses, desks, dressers, and common-area furniture. Items can be moved to temporary storage in our climate-controlled warehouse and returned once renovations are complete.
