When our staff moved to their new Civilian Personnel Records Center facility in Illinois, they quickly realized that they had an unusual problem on their hands: a records bay that was half a mile away —almost a mile round-trip!

The Valmeyer Annex is located in a retrofitted limestone cave, the perfect climate controlled space for documents. The approximately 400,000 square foot building has a total storage capacity of nearly two million cubic feet of records in eleven bays. But the sheer size means that staff can lose time if they need to quickly retrieve a single record.

The staff looked at various solutions that were efficient and cost-effective, including golf carts and segways before deciding on three-wheeled bikes with a basket to hold records.

The bikes have been enormously successful: time has been saved and efficiency has been improved. And the staff enjoy the new mode of transportation.

“It isn’t every job where you can hop on a bike and take off through the cave!” says archives technician Kevin Abney. “It makes going to pull records a bit of an adventure each day.”
