Orchestrating a Seamless Transition: Dr. Michael Hatridge's Lab Move from Pittsburgh to Yale

Welcome back to USA Lab Movers' blog! We're thrilled to share the story of our latest project, where we expertly managed the relocation of Dr. Michael Hatridge's lab from the University of Pittsburgh to Yale University. Dr. Hatridge, renowned for his work in quantum information and superconducting circuits (learn more at Hatlab), trusted us with this intricate move.


The Challenge

Moving a lab specializing in quantum physics requires more than just logistics; it demands precision, care, and specialized knowledge:


  • Plassys Equipment: We handled sophisticated thin film deposition systems crucial for quantum circuit research.

  • Custom Oxford System: This advanced nanotechnology equipment from Oxford Instruments Nanoscience required meticulous handling.


Our Approach

Custom Crating and Rigging:


  • Wooden Crates: We crafted custom wooden crates tailored to each piece of equipment, ensuring secure transport.



  • Rigging: Our team used rigging techniques to safely load these delicate and heavy items into their protective crates.


Comprehensive Packing:


  • Every item in Dr. Hatridge’s lab was packed with precision, ensuring nothing was left unaccounted for.


Strategic Delivery Planning:


  • Staggered Delivery Dates: We coordinated multiple delivery schedules to match the readiness of Yale's lab space, ensuring equipment arrived at the optimal time for installation.


Execution of the Move

Our process was meticulous:


  • Disassembly and Packing: We carefully took apart necessary components, packed each item securely, and labeled for ease of reassembly by the lab team.

  • Transport: Working with our moving partners, we ensured the safe transport of all equipment, focusing on maintaining the integrity of each piece.


The Outcome

The move was a complete success, with all equipment arriving in pristine condition. Dr. Hatridge's lab at Yale was set up for operation swiftly, continuing its pioneering research with minimal interruption.
