You mention the faculty were getting comfortable just dropping by which is wonderful.  I would also strongly suggest trying to find office space here and there, maybe in the departments, not to fully "set up shop" but where you can basically have office hours a couple times a week and faculty know they can drop in to chat if they have questions and maybe drop proposals off with you then, etc.  Just to keep the relationship going without requiring them to expend more effort.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, my office has recently moved 5 miles off-campus.  We're a predominantly undergraduate institution with an enrollment of around 5,000.  My office is intended to be the centralized grants office for the university, and the past 3 years have been primarily about familiarizing faculty with policy and procedure.  Yet just when faculty were getting comfortable dropping by my office, I'm moved to a new location where 'dropping by' requires a car.   My new supervisor and I are brainstorming the best approach in overcoming the off-campus obstacle.  Does anyone have experience in a similar situation or have suggestions?

Thanks!
Jeanie
