VA Medical Center Success Story
Hingham Moving Services successfully relocated a research laboratory from the SF VA Medical Center to Atlanta, Georgia, in late 2024, demonstrating our expertise in complex cross-country laboratory relocations and precise equipment handling. Our sister company, Laboratory Movers LLC, specializes in these complex federal facility and research institution relocations.
The Project: VA Medical Center Laboratory Relocation
This specialized San Francisco laboratory move required meticulous organization to ensure each scientist could quickly resume research operations in the new Atlanta facility. Working within VA research facility guidelines, we maintained strict compliance throughout the relocation process.
Systematic Bay Organization
Our seven-person packing crew implemented a comprehensive labeling system:
- Eight research bays are individually packed and labeled
- Top and bottom sections separately identified (Bay 1, Bay 1 Top, Bay 1 Bottom)
- Designed for efficient unpacking and setup in Atlanta
- Each scientist’s workspace was carefully documented
Complex Equipment Handled
The San Francisco laboratory contained sophisticated research instrumentation requiring specialized moving protocols:
Precision Instruments:
- Research microscopes
- Laboratory centrifuges
- Rotary evaporators (Rotovaps)
- Flow cytometers
- HPLC systems
- Thermal cyclers
Large Equipment:
- Bio-safety cabinets (dismantled and reassembled per CDC biosafety standards)
- Double glove boxes (complete disassembly and reinstallation)
