Amarillo College Adds High-Density Mobile Shelving for Simulation Storage
Amarillo College needed a way to store mannequins, medical training equipment, supplies, and spare parts in its new Health Sciences Simulation Center without using too much floor space. Southwest Solutions Group worked with the general contractor to install high-density mobile shelving that keeps training materials organized, accessible, and close to where they are used.

High-density mobile shelving with adjustable shelves and heavy-duty storage for mannequins helps organize healthcare simulation equipment and supplies.
The project goal was to keep essential simulation materials on-site, organized, and close to where they are used.
Healthcare Training Equipment Needed Space-Saving Storage
Amarillo College was building a new Health Sciences Center with a Simulation Center for healthcare training. The college needed organized storage for mannequins, medical equipment, supplies, and spare parts without using too much floor space in the new facility.
Limited Space for Medical Training Equipment
The Simulation Center had to house a broad mix of healthcare training materials without turning too much of the new facility into storage. Standard static shelving would have made it harder to balance storage capacity with usable floor space.
Varied Item Sizes
The stored materials included mannequins, supplies, equipment, and spare parts with different sizes and handling needs. Each item type needed a defined location so available shelf space could be used efficiently instead of leaving gaps between unlike materials.
Need for Nearby Access
Amarillo College wanted essential simulation materials kept on-site and within a short distance of the training environment. Spreading materials across separate locations would have made use, service, and restocking less direct.
High-Density Mobile Shelving for Healthcare Equipment
Southwest Solutions Group installed high-density mobile shelving for Amarillo College's Health Sciences Simulation Center. Adjustable shelves, mechanically assisted movement, and heavy-duty shelving for mannequins help organize training materials of different sizes. The system provides more storage capacity while using less floor space. Amarillo College chose this storage approach with long-term use in mind.
High-Density Mobile Shelving With Adjustable Shelves
The installed system included high-density mobile shelving, adjustable shelves, mechanically assisted movement, and heavy-duty shelving for mannequins. The layout was planned around the Simulation Center's mix of mannequins, supplies, equipment, and spare parts.
More Storage Capacity in Less Floor Space
Mobile shelving fit the project because Amarillo College needed to increase storage capacity without dedicating excess floor space to storage. Assigning each item type its own space helped reduce unused shelf area while keeping stored materials practical for daily simulation support.
Training Materials Kept Close to Use
The system placed the Simulation Center’s required materials in a single on-site storage area. That arrangement supports nearby access for use, service, and day-to-day support of the healthcare training environment.
High-Density Mobile Shelving Installation at Amarillo College
Southwest Solutions Group worked with the general contractor to install high-density mobile shelving at Amarillo College's new Health Sciences Simulation Center. Installation took place in May 2025 and was completed before classes began. The system was designed to store mannequins, equipment, supplies, and spare parts while making the most of the available space.
Defined the Simulation Center Storage Need
The project team reviewed the need to store mannequins, equipment, supplies, and spare parts inside the new Health Sciences Simulation Center. The storage goal was to increase capacity while limiting floor space used for storage.
Planned the Mobile Shelving Layout
A plan view drawing supported the high-capacity mobile shelving layout. The configuration assigned space by item type so varied simulation materials could be stored with less wasted area.
Coordinated Through the General Contractor
The project was completed through a general contractor contract. SSG coordinated approvals, installation planning, and project requirements so the storage system matched the end user’s needs.
Ordered Systems After Funding Approval
When funding was approved, the storage systems were ordered for the new Simulation Center. The project team coordinated components for the mobile shelving, adjustable shelves, and heavy duty mannequin storage.
Installed the System Before Classes Began
Installation began on May 5, 2025, and ended on May 9, 2025. Typical weather challenges arose, but field flexibility helped the team complete the system for the start of classes.
Planned for Long-Term Storage Needs
The system was selected with longevity in mind. Its adjustable shelving and mobile storage capacity give the Simulation Center a platform for current materials and foreseeable future needs.
High-Density Mobile Shelving Maximizes Simulation Storage
The completed system gave Amarillo College a dense, organized storage area for the Sim Center’s training materials. Mannequins, supplies, equipment, and spare parts can remain on-site and close to the healthcare training environment.
More Equipment Stored in Less Space
The primary result was higher storage density for the Simulation Center. The mobile shelving system allowed Amarillo College to store more materials while minimizing the amount of floor space dedicated to storage.
On-Site Access for Training Support
The Sim Center can keep the materials needed to train future healthcare providers on-site and within a short distance. This supports use, service, and handling from a single storage location.
Organized Storage for Different Equipment Types
Each type of item was assigned a space within the storage system. That structure helped maximize capacity and reduce wasted space across mannequins, equipment, supplies, and spare parts.
Storage Built for Future Needs
Amarillo College chose the system because it was familiar with this storage approach and wanted a best-in-class option for longevity. The result is a durable storage platform for current Simulation Center materials and foreseeable future requirements.
