(Sept. 20, 2019) -- From pens and paper clips to desks and file cabinets, Alan Norton makes sure faculty and staff have the tools they need to do their jobs efficiently. As director of Central Services, Norton oversees four employees working in Central Receiving, General Stores, Lab Stores, and the warehouse—areas concerned with the acquisition, distribution, and storage of the equipment and supplies that are the “nuts and bolts” of UTSA operations.
General Stores stocks approximately 650 different kinds of office supplies, buying them in quantity to save money and then delivering staples, paper, folders, and other items as ordered by university departments. Lab Stores performs the same service for the university’s science laboratories, filling requisitions for such basics as test tubes and chemicals.
