General Project Description:

The existing Mail Room is outdated and no longer adequately supports the operational needs of staff. The space has a circuitous layout with a narrow work area that makes it difficult to maneuver carts efficiently and creates potential trip hazards. Staff currently work at countertops that do not provide adequate workspace for paperwork and lack ergonomic workstations necessary to support a safe and efficient work environment. Mail sorting is currently performed using makeshift cardboard box cubbies, which are inadequate for the volume and organization of mail being processed. The existing staff mail slots are also minimally utilized and will be eliminated as part of the remodel. In their place, smart lockers will be installed to provide a more efficient, organized, and secure method for mail distribution. The proposed remodel will improve the functionality and efficiency of the Mail Room by creating a more open and accessible layout, providing appropriate ergonomic workstations and adequate workspace, improving mail-sorting capabilities, and incorporating smart locker technology to better meet current and future staff needs.
