Relocating Your In-plant
When the in-plants at McGill University Health Centre got the green light to move into a new facility, the managers were determined to do everything right, from plant design to the move itself. Here’s what they learned.
Lessons Learned From Others
During our initial stage of planning, we visited an in-plant in Montreal that had just gone through a similar change, with the intention of learning from their experience. It turned out to be an excellent investment. The first thing we noticed was that paper was stored in many locations far from the point of use, requiring staff to travel considerably in order to retrieve it. The manager acknowledged that it was not ideal but they had space constraints.
