Shipping Address – Use the following address for deliveries to Westside Research Park:
University of California, Santa Cruz
2300 Delaware Avenue
Loading Dock/Building C
Santa Cruz, CA 95060
(in CruzBuy, this is shipping address DELBSE)
Note: The United States Postal Service (USPS) only delivers to UCSC Campus Mail Services, 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95064. For on-campus delivery of USPS mail, a campus mailstop is needed. One can be established and used for this location.
UCSC central receiving will accept and hold packages for departments that are closed or have limited hours of operation. This includes all packages delivered by the U.S. Postal Service. Missed deliveries to WRP may be redirected to central receiving. To schedule pickup, call (831) 459-2765 or email receiving@ucsc.edu.
Warnings
All hazardous materials shipments from UCSC or off-campus UCSC sites must be handled by the UCSC Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) Shipping Division. Do not ship hazardous materials for WRP labs to the main campus. Failure to comply may result in significant civil and criminal penalties.
Radioactive materials may only be shipped to PBSci Receiving at the Thimann Laboratories Building. PBSci, in coordination with EH&S Radiation Safety, will process all incoming radioactive shipments.
Large item purchases
Before ordering any large or heavy items — such as laser tables, freezers or major lab equipment — email WRP facilities at wrp-facilities@rt.ucsc.edu
- This ensures the equipment can be accommodated in the building, will fit in elevators and through doorways, and that necessary infrastructure (such as power, water, gas or air) is in place.
- Please note that research groups are generally responsible for lab alterations, including converting power outlets to 208V. If an item is too heavy, too large or not approved by the fire marshal, the purchaser will be responsible for returning it.
Campus Mailstop
As WRP is a newly occupied facility, departments without an existing mailstop will need to request one here. UC Santa Cruz uses mailstops to receive and distribute campus mail.
Include your mailstop in your delivery address information to help Campus Mail Services staff ensure timely delivery. Example: John Doe, UC Santa Cruz, 1156 High Street, MAILSTOP: BSOE, Santa Cruz, CA 95064
Shipping
WRP does not provide shipping services at this location. All shipping related inquiries should be sent to Receiving Services at receiving@ucsc.edu.
Custodial
One custodial staff member is generally on site from 5:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. Services are provided by UCSC custodial services.
If you have a custodial complaint or request, send a detailed email with specifics to the Custodial Manager Shaun Burke (shdburke@ucsc.edu), Night Shift Principal Supervisor Michael Ferre (miaferre@ucsc.edu), and copy WRP facilities (wrp-facilities@rt.ucsc.edu).
Sustainability
Each Thursday, Grounds Services will conduct resource recovery of the property. All large recycling bins at WRP will be collected. WRP occupants are responsible for emptying their individual recycling bins into the larger containers on the property, in order to be collected.
Each Friday, Grounds Services will collect all cardboard from the recycling container located outside the loading dock area of Building C. It is the responsibility of each department to collect and discard their recyclables and place them in the proper locations for collection.
