College and University Moving Services

Carnegie Mellon sits in Oakland, east of downtown Pittsburgh, where streets are narrow, parking is limited, and most residence halls have elevator and loading dock restrictions. Central Van Lines knows the campus access rules and schedules moves within CMU's building management requirements. We move students into and out of dorms and off-campus housing in Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and Oakland, and faculty relocating to Pittsburgh for a position at CMU receive the same full-service move.

Duquesne sits on a bluff above the South Side in Pittsburgh, so access to campus involves steep grades, limited truck access, and specific unloading zones. Central Van Lines coordinates with building management to reserve elevators and loading areas. Students moving into campus housing and the surrounding South Side and Uptown neighborhoods use our services regularly.

Point Park is in downtown Pittsburgh, where street parking is nonexistent and building access is controlled by property management. Central Van Lines pre-arranges loading zone permits and elevator access for student move-in and move-out days. Students moving into downtown apartments near campus benefit from movers who know the one-way streets and garage clearances in the Golden Triangle.

Robert Morris University sits in Moon Township, about 20 minutes west of downtown Pittsburgh. The campus is more spread out than the urban schools, with easier truck access and more flexible scheduling for move-in days. We move students to on-campus housing and the surrounding communities of Coraopolis, Moon Township, and Robinson.

Washington and Jefferson College is in Washington, PA, about 30 miles south of Pittsburgh. The small-town campus has straightforward truck access, but many surrounding rental properties are older homes with narrow stairways and small doorways. We move students into and out of campus housing and the nearby rental market, and families supporting the move can draw on our full residential moving service when a whole household is relocating alongside the student.

Faculty and staff relocating for positions at any university in our service area receive full-service residential moving, including packing, transit, delivery, and storage when the timing between the old home and new home does not align. Our employee relocation team works with university HR departments and relocation offices to meet their requirements.
