In January 2009, the hall founded Penn Move Out, a door-to-door summer storage business customized for Penn students by Penn students. Generally, students will store boxes of their things over the summer, but Penn Move Out also offers storage on a variety of items such as mattresses, futons, desks, televisions, bikes and more. The transportation and storage is a coordinated effort between Penn Move Out and Transit Systems Inc. and includes pick-up at your dorm, storage over the summer and redelivery of items at the beginning of the school year. In addition, Penn Move Out offers storage supplies, such as boxes and tape.
