Space Planning Tips from Spacesaver

"Storage Solved" in Surgical Supply Storage

Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, Georgia added a new self-contained wing to accommodate an expanded and state-of-the-art Surgical Services department. In an effort to provide patients with state-of-the-art procedure rooms that accommodate new, high-tech medical equipment, they built larger rooms and removed permanent supply storage from the rooms.

Two high-density mobile systems were used in the central core to house all of the surgical supplies and instruments and facilitate the new OR design goals.

A unique mobile system was designed with stainless steel wire racks, which helps minimize dust collection and maximize cleanliness in the sterile supply area. Also, the high-density mobile system incorporates completely clear acrylic end panels to facilitate quick visual locating.

Storage solutions (design, layout and installation) provided by Coleman Goodwin, Walter Hopkins Company, Atlanta, GA, in conjunction with Spacesaver Corporation.
