I finally saw the new regional maintenance hangar in Boise and the layout is a mess

Went out there last week to drop off a part. They have the tool crib a full 300 feet from the main work area. Saw three guys just walking back and forth all morning. The whole flow is wrong, with the parts room on the opposite side of the paint booth. It's like they designed it on paper without ever turning a wrench. Who builds a new facility like this in 2024? Anyone else had to deal with a hangar that just fights you every step of the way?

Actually it's in Nampa, not Boise. Still a weird setup though. That drive between buildings kills your whole day.

Totally feel that, the location thing is such a pain. Had a meeting out there once and spent more time in the car than in the actual room. Makes you wonder who planned that whole setup. The whole day just gets eaten up by pointless travel. Really kills any chance of getting other stuff done. Just a badly designed situation all around.
