Carpentry Services
Carpentry services ranging from basic repairs to special jobs for your labs or offices are offered by Frank Scopeletti. You can reach Frank at 514-398-3980.

Fax
A fax machine is located in W4/8. The telephone number for receiving material is 514-398-5069. For outgoing faxes, a fax machine is located in the mail room (W4/2). To transmit, it is necessary to have an authorization code for long distance so that the costs can be charged to a telephone local. See the Administrative Officer for this.

Glass Blowing
Mr. Kopp of the Department of Chemistry (514-398-6217) will make specialized items of glass to order. It should be noted that both labour and materials are charged to the individual requesting the ordered item.

Printing Services
Any duplication requiring more than 40 copies is cheaper if processed through the printers rather than using a photocopying machine. Reprint costs are often prohibitively high and these can be reduced by having the printing department reproduce the paper from a reprint. Orders are placed with Lucy Scigliano in room W4/7. Please note that, in some cases, copyright clearance may be necessary before this work can be undertaken.

Mail Service
The University Mailroom:
The University has a central mailroom which is administered by Ancilliary Services. The office is located on Durocher St. For more information, please visit Mail Services at McGill University.

The Departmental Mailroom:
The Departmental mailroom is located on the 4th floor of the west wing (W4/2). Staff and graduate students have individual mail slots allocated to them. The incoming mail is delivered and sorted daily. Large incoming parcels are placed on the table to be picked up. Only official departmental correspondence and stamped personal correspondence, with complete return address including name of sender, may be placed in the outgoing external mail bag. The outgoing mail is removed by the Building Porter at 7:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. daily.
