MUHC: Tubes aid in logistics Pneumatic network for small objects

The Gazette, August 16th 2011 -- When the planning teams at the McGill University Health Centre started sketching out the new mega-facility on the Glen campus, they quickly realized its enormous scale was going to present a number of challenges. Chief among them was transportation. Even if an employee were only carrying one small object and sprinting at top speed, it would take several minutes to cross from one end of the Glen to the other - and the person would probably arrive needing medical assistance of their own.
