The Challenge: 30 Days to Exit
The client — a mid-sized life sciences firm — was closing its R&D satellite lab due to corporate consolidation. The facility contained a wide mix of equipment and furnishings, including:
- Analytical instruments (GCs, HPLCs, spectrophotometers)
- Benchtop tools, centrifuges, and microscopes
- Environmental chambers and lab furniture
- IT hardware, servers, and office equipment
The deadline was firm. The landlord required the space to be broom-clean on exit. Internal staff were unavailable for inventory or logistics support. The client’s goal: maximize return and avoid penalties.
