Mail Center Renovation

In the 2017-2018 school year, it became clear that our mailing system at Xavier was incapable of meeting the evolving needs of our faculty, staff, and students.

As many experienced, we didn’t have enough staff to process packages, deliver mail, and serve retail needs.  Our facility was designed for 90% mail and 10% packages, where the reality had progressed to be the exact opposite mix.  We had no mail delivery vehicle, and the van used to get mail from the USPS daily was inoperable frequently and very, very old.  We had no software to track chain of custody of packages once they got to campus, as well.  In short, something had to change immediately.

In consultation with the Financial Administration CBO, Auxiliary Services undertook a study of other university mailing systems to bring our mailing system up to par with those schools exhibiting best practices and best serving their university communities.

The upgrade was completed in 2018 and now serves the current needs of Xavier.

Please enjoy the photos of the mail center before and after the renovation.

Many thanks to Tim Trucco, Director of Construction in Physical Plant, for his careful and excellent work bringing in the project to fruition.
