  • Most packages will take 20 minutes to 2 hours.
  • Larger 340 productions may take 2 to more than 6 hours.

If equipment is being picked up by another person who did not place the initial request, you must notify the E-Center via email with the person’s name prior to picking up.

No equipment should be taken until signed for and approved to do so by an E-Center employee.

  • Returns: At their schedule time, student will unload their vehicle(s) by the loading area, and move the vehicle(s) out of the loading zone before checking in the equipment.

The E-Center will provide access to the loading zone by opening the gate arm, and will maintain the remote “clicker” to ensure the two car or one box truck limit in the loading zone.
