What London hires
Every residence becomes a car park and a front desk at once.
The busiest brief in this city arrives at the end of summer, when the university and the college move a new year of students into residence over a single weekend. Every building has the same two problems stacked on top of each other: a road outside that fills with cars, trailers and parents looking for somewhere to stop, and a lobby inside where each arrival has to be checked, handed a key and sent upstairs. The first is a lane problem and the second is a queue, and a move-in plan that treats them as one ends up with families standing in the unloading bay holding a mattress.
Lanes for the unloading zone
Steel barricade marks where a car pulls in, stops and pulls away again, and keeps the pavement clear for trolleys and boxes.
A check-in line at each door
Belt posts in every residence lobby, so the key desk has a queue in front of it rather than a crowd pressing round it.
Signs that say which building
Printed panels in sign frames carry building names, drop-off directions and the check-in route, all in the campus colours.
Where we deliver
The campuses, the city and the towns across Middlesex.
A move-in order is rarely one address. It is a set of residences, each wanting its share of lanes, posts and panels, so the drop is planned building by building and the truck works its way round the campus loop. Delivery, laying out and collection sit on the quote as distinct lines; a residence team with volunteers often takes the posts as a drop and asks for the barricade lanes to be built for them.

Deliveries go to the campus buildings and halls a London date uses:
- the university residences and the roads that loop between them
- the college residences on the east side of the city
- the convocation hall and the athletics buildings on campus
- the downtown arena and the convention centre beside it
- the fairgrounds and the park at the forks of the river
- the concert halls and theatres in the core
Send the list of residences and the side of each building where cars will pull in, and every one of them gets its lanes and its check-in line from a single delivery.
Worth asking
What residence teams ask before move-in.
- What does it cost to hire stanchions in London, Ontario?
- The rate is $19 a day, $29 for three days or $39 a week, whether it is a gold post with velvet rope or a black post with retractable belt. A move-in weekend usually lands on the three-day rate, and the truck, the layout at each residence and the pickup afterwards are each priced as a separate line below it.
- How do you lay out a car lane at a residence?
- With steel barricade, set so a car enters at one end, stops beside the door and leaves at the other without reversing. The inside edge keeps the pavement free for families carrying boxes. Tell us where traffic arrives from and which kerb the building faces, and the lane is drawn for that side.
- Can every residence get a separate check-in line?
- Yes, and it is the usual request. Belt posts are counted per lobby, so a large tower gets a longer switchback and a smaller house gets a short run in front of the desk. The totals are added into one order and each set is dropped at the building it was counted for.
- Can the signs carry building names and directions?
- Yes. Sign frames take printed panels, so each residence can have its name at the kerb, an arrow to the unloading lane and a panel at the check-in desk. Barricade covers and belts can be printed in the campus colours too. The artwork is produced for the order, so send the wording with the brief.
- Does the same equipment suit convocation or orientation?
- Much of it does. Belt posts that held a check-in line can form a queue for gown pickup or a registration table, and rope on polished posts suits a stage entrance at a ceremony. If a campus has more than one event on the brief, list them all and the hire is quoted across every one.
