Faculty Relocation Services
Academic life moves in cycles of semesters, research, and renewal. LiteMovers understands that pace. Our Faculty Relocation Services combine a concierge moving model with the precision that professors, researchers, and staff deserve. We manage every step so you can focus on teaching, writing, and discovery.
Tailored for academic calendars
Universities and colleges run on fixed dates. So do we. LiteMovers schedules moves around course loads, grant deadlines, and housing start dates. Whether you are joining Villanova, Penn, Temple, Drexel, or moving between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, we make the transition smooth and quiet.
What concierge moving means for faculty
- One point of contact from start to finish
- Written timeline that aligns with your term schedule
- Packing systems for libraries, instruments, and archives
- COIs and elevator reservations arranged before move day
- Optional unpacking, setup, and debris removal
Careful packing for books and archives
Every book, binder, and manuscript matters. We use small reinforced cartons to keep weight safe. We pack spines upright and label shelves by category. Fragile editions get bubble sleeves and foam buffers. Our labeling system makes your unpacking as organized as your research notes.
Instruments and lab materials
We move non-hazardous lab and studio equipment using custom crating and anti-static wraps. Precision devices, microscopes, and A/V gear travel with soft straps and stable bases. Everything arrives ready for calibration, not repair.
University area expertise
Philadelphia region
LiteMovers knows the heart of Philadelphia’s academic neighborhoods — University City, Chestnut Hill, and the Main Line. We plan around narrow streets, historic campuses, and tight delivery times. We also serve Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore, and Haverford with care and local knowledge.
Pittsburgh region
We also serve the western academic corridor — Carnegie Mellon, Pitt, Duquesne, and Chatham. We coordinate with campus facility teams to manage COIs, parking, and load zones.
For families moving with faculty
Many professors relocate with families. Our crews create calm through clarity. We set up children’s rooms first, keep essential boxes labeled, and maintain access to teaching materials. Moving across semesters is complex; our goal is to make it feel simple.
Storage bridging between leases
Sometimes housing dates and campus start dates don’t match. Our storage vaults hold your items safely until your home is ready. Every vault is numbered, sealed, and climate protected. You get an inventory list for peace of mind.
