Subject: New building/expansion move-in lessons?

Hi friends!

We will be opening an expansion that adds a 50% increase in our square footage later this summer. 

We will also be welcoming in about 10 departments from Student Affairs. Including us, we will be housing 50-60% of the division. We have already drafted and shared an MOU covering their spaces, etc.

I’ve been spending some time looking in the crystal ball and trying to identify what to expect on the whole (not just with new tenants), what gaps might be, etc. to allow us some time to plan/prepare. 

Can anyone share lessons from opening and moving into an expansion/new facility? What were unexpected draws on your time/money? What would you do differently? What else should we be thinking about?

Thanks so much!

-Eric
