Children’s Hospital Adds Supply Storage with Mobile Shelving
A children’s hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas, needed more medical supply storage in a small room with limited usable capacity. The center of the room was open, but it was not supporting the department’s storage needs. Southwest Solutions Group designed a high-density mobile shelving layout that turned the unused floor area into organized storage and kept essential supplies closer to staff.

A Small Hospital Supply Room Had Limited Storage Capacity
The children’s hospital needed to keep essential medical supplies in a small room that did not provide enough practical storage. Although the center of the room was open, the area was not being used to organize supplies. The hospital needed to increase capacity without expanding the room or moving the department.
Not Enough Room for Medical Supplies
The existing room could not hold all the supplies that staff needed nearby. The hospital needed more storage without increasing the size of the room.
Open Floor Space Was Going Unused
The middle of the room was clear, but it did not support an organized storage workflow. This open area created an opportunity to add capacity within the existing footprint.
Staff Walked Farther to Retrieve Supplies
Limited room capacity meant some items had to be stored in other areas. Staff spent more time walking to retrieve supplies, which slowed routine work.
High-Density Mobile Shelving for Medical Supply Storage
Southwest Solutions Group provided a Spacesaver Wheelhouse modular mobile shelving system for the hospital supply room. The layout used the open center of the room as the main storage area instead of relying only on wall shelving. Because the Wheelhouse system did not require permanent floor anchoring, it fit the room while keeping nearby equipment and work areas accessible.
Spacesaver Wheelhouse Mobile Shelving
The project used a Spacesaver Wheelhouse modular mobile shelving system to create organized medical supply storage in the center of the room. The system provided a mobile layout without permanent floor anchoring.
More Storage in the Existing Room
The room already had open floor space in the middle, making it a strong fit for high-density mobile shelving. The system turned that unused area into practical storage without changing the room’s footprint.
More Supplies Stored Closer to Staff
The completed layout increased capacity and allowed more required supplies to remain near the staff who used them. This reduced walking and supported quicker access during daily work.
A Two-Day After-Hours Mobile Shelving Installation
The project took 10 weeks from planning through completion. Because installation occurred inside an active hospital, the on-site work was scheduled after hours and completed in two days. The design focused on the small room, the available center floor space, and the placement of the Wheelhouse system around equipment already used in the area.
Evaluating the Supply Room
The team reviewed the room, the supplies that needed to remain nearby, and the open floor area in the center. Planning also covered room access, required clearances, and the location of equipment already used in the space.
Designing the Center-Room Layout
A plan-view drawing showed how the mobile shelving would fit within the open middle of the room. The layout turned unused floor space into storage and accounted for the Wheelhouse system’s no-floor-anchor design.
Coordinating Work in an Active Hospital
Project documentation and scheduling supported the hospital’s review before installation. The team also coordinated an after-hours work window to limit disruption in the active supply area.
Preparing the Wheelhouse System
The Spacesaver Wheelhouse components were prepared according to the approved room layout. Delivery and staging were coordinated around hospital access requirements and the installation schedule.
Completing Installation in Two Days
Technicians installed the mobile shelving after hours during a two-day on-site work period. Once complete, the system was prepared for staff use so supplies could be organized and accessed within the room.
Supporting Long-Term Storage Needs
The modular system provides a practical storage platform within the hospital’s existing supply room. Southwest Solutions Group remains available for replacement parts, repairs, and system reviews as needs change.
Mobile Shelving Increases Capacity and Improves Supply Access
The mobile shelving layout helped the children’s hospital make better use of a small supply room. Open floor space became organized storage for required medical supplies. Staff gained quicker access to nearby items and spent less time walking to other storage areas.
More Medical Supply Storage Capacity
The project increased usable storage in a room that previously could not hold enough required items. Mobile shelving turned open floor space into productive storage without expanding the room.
Quicker Access to Required Supplies
Keeping more supplies within the room reduced the distance staff had to walk. The new layout supported faster access during routine supply retrieval.
A Clear Purpose for Previously Open Space
The mobile shelving system gave the center of the room a defined storage function. Supplies could be organized in a dedicated system instead of leaving usable floor space empty.
High-Density Storage Without Room Expansion
The modular mobile shelving system made the existing room more productive. Its no-floor-anchor design provided high-density storage without requiring a permanently anchored installation.
