The State Library of South Australia takes this opportunity to acknowledge the significant contribution MoveCorp made to the successful completion of the $41.2 million State Library of South Australia Redevelopment – on time and on budget.

MoveCorp acted as principal consultant, as part of a large project team on the extensive and complex storage and relocation components. These included the design, arrangement and relocation of equipment, staff and office moves, the selection of new storage facilities for the full range of library collections on open and closed access, advising on environmental conditions for collection storage to recognised preservation standards, and integrating the reuse of storage equipment and facilities.

Over the nearly 4 years of the project 50 kilometres of collections were relocated three times and 150 staff twice; the bulk of the collections and staff remained onsite during the redevelopment. The success of these three manoeuvres, coordinated and managed by MoveCorp, allowed the Library to remain open and provide a service, with access to the collections throughout the building works.

MoveCorp’s approach is collaborative, responsive and consistent. They listen, advise and provide direction and leadership as needed.
