Library shelving relocation at Penryn Campus
University of Exeter · Penryn Campus, Cornwall
An expanding book collection called for more shelving in the library. Working on behalf of Rackline, Complete Workspace Solutions dismantled 60 existing static shelving bays, moved them within the same building and reassembled them in their new library location.

Making room for more books
The requirement at Penryn Campus was to relocate existing static shelving into the library to accommodate its growing collection of books. The project made use of shelving already within the building, bringing it into the space where it was needed.
The scope covered 60 bays—a substantial relocation built around reusing the existing system.
The complete move, handled by CWS
Our team carried out all three parts of the relocation: dismantling the shelving, moving it within the same building and reassembling it in the library.
CWS delivered the installation work on behalf of Rackline. The photographs show the finished shelving in its new library setting.
