Move-in day

Arriving
without
the chaos.

Move-in week at a student building gets crowded fast, and the difference between a 45-minute unload and a long afternoon is almost entirely in the coordinating you do beforehand. Four steps, and a packing list that is shorter than you think.

Four steps to a smooth arrival.

Confirm your arrival window

In-person check-in runs Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the first-floor office. If your flight or drive lands outside that window, call ahead and the team will arrange something.

Reserve the elevator

Call 510.883.9000 at least 48 hours out to hold a two-hour elevator block on your arrival day. Move-in week fills up quickly, so earlier is better.

Use the loading zone

Shattuck Avenue is busy and posted no-stopping at peak hours. Pull into the loading zone in front of the building for a short unload, roughly 30 minutes, and call when you are about 10 minutes out.

Set up access and walk the unit

Your ButterflyMX and iNox Smart invitations get activated at check-in, so bring the phone you plan to use. Walk the unit with the team and flag anything that needs a work order while they are standing there with you.

Your apartment is furnished. Pack lighter.

Every unit comes furnished with the kitchen stocked. Shipping furniture across the country is money you do not need to spend.

Bring

Bedding and pillows
Towels and toiletries
Kitchen basics: pots, pans, utensils, a few plates

A U-lock if you are bringing a bike
Reusable water bottle

Skip

Extra furniture. Closets and shelving are built in.
Window AC units. The building runs continuous filtered ventilation.
Candles and halogen lamps. Both are against building rules.

Flying in?

Call the office a day or two before you land. The team can get your ButterflyMX and iNox Smart invitations queued up and hold an elevator block, so arriving is one short conversation instead of three. Both SFO and OAK connect to Downtown Berkeley BART without a car.

Still have a question?

Ask the Panoramic Northside assistant. It knows the building, and it will hand you to a person when it should. For anything urgent, call 510.883.9000 instead.
