From Office Space to Cold Storage in Less Than 30 Days

Industry: Life Sciences with FLEXSPACE Mobile Racking

Partnering with FLEXSPACE, the Company—a life sciences leader supplying instruments, equipment, and services to support scientific innovation in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and industrial research—sought to expand its pharmaceutical packaging capabilities.

A creative solution was proposed: transforming a carpeted office into a temperature-controlled storage environment for pharmaceutical packaging. The FLEXSPACE team delivered design and installation services for the FLEXSPACE Mobile Racking System, ensuring the new cooler area met all requirements.

The Project Details

2,860 Square Feet,
16’ Clear Height

253
Total Pallet Positions

48% capacity increase over single-select static racking

The first phase of construction—rail installation—was completed within ten days. This phase included cutting trenches, removing existing concrete, placing stools, installing rails, and pouring new concrete.

Following a one-week curing period, mobile bases, rack structures, and electrical components were installed over the next seven days.

In total, the conversion of ambient office space into a fully functional, temperature-controlled storage area was accomplished within 25 days.

The Impact

The novel solution of turning office space into temperature-controlled storage—utilizing  FLEXSPACE mobile racking systems—exemplifies how rethinking space can optimize distribution potential to better serve demand.
