Project scope
Relocate Loughborough University's Pilkington Library
Our key tasks
Sequential packing of over 5,000 linear metres of journals, books and specialist collections
Packing and decanting of the library stock for offsite storage during refurbishment works
Interfiling in order to bring collections together.
While working at Loughborough University with the reorganisation and relocation of over 450 staff from their iconic Hazelrigg and Rutland buildings, BCL was awarded the contract to relocate the Pilkington Library at Loughborough University. The Pilkington Library move involved the sequential packing of over 5,000 linear metres of journals, books and specialist collections and interfiling to bring collections together on their replacement in the refurbished library.
Project management and planning was the key to success
The move was project managed throughout, and was a more demanding library move than normal. This was due to needing for interfiling in order to bring collections together.
The move involved the packing and decanting of the library stock for offsite storage, while refurbishment works were undertaken during the summer period.
Following a 13 week refurbishment program, the library stock was sequentially returned, unpacked onto shelves with interfiled stock, in line with the new library layout.
PETER UPTON, PROJECT MANAGER, FACILITIES MANAGEMENT
Loughborough University
"I was at a meeting of the Library’s Building Development Group yesterday and they asked me to thank you and the other BCL staff involved in the contract for the way you have worked with them during the refurbishment works.
The project has been very challenging for all involved but both the Library and ourselves have found you to be very responsive to our requests and requirements throughout the project.
Thank you once again".

Simon and the crew did an excellent job

Simon and the crew did an excellent job. The guys always do but the clearance was very very challenging with various shenanigans and the water getting cut off early in the building so I wanted to pass on my appreciation to everyone for getting the job done without complaint.
Emma, Manchester City CouncilThe crew of movers we linked with are also brilliant and really good fun to be around

The collection has been collected and I probably won’t speak to you again, but I want to say ‘Thank you’ for all of your help over the last 7 months. It has made my life so much easier, I think this is the 4th move I have done for Gateway, hopefully this is the last one for some time. The crew of movers we linked with are also brilliant and really good fun to be around. So, thanks again and best wishes for the future.

Just wanted to drop a short note to express my thanks to you and the team for supporting our move yesterday.
Both of your colleagues were a credit to your organisation. Both performed their duties with absolute professionalism. From the first point of contact, through the packaging, removal and unpacking, they worked efficiently, methodically and effectively. They were able to pack and transfer a considerable amount of (in some cases) high value assets without a single incident. The right people in the right place at the right time. Thank you.
Kind regards
Andrew
