Business Wire
Williams Scotsman, Inc. (NASDAQ:WLSC) today announced that it would
lease modular library facilities to 14 communities in Louisiana and
Mississippi, as part of hurricane recovery efforts supported by the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation U.S. Libraries Initiative.
Williams Scotsman collaborated with the Southeast Library Network
(SOLINET), the organization that received the foundation grant.
Three of the 14 libraries recently opened in Cameron Parish and
Hancock County. Future library installations are planned for
additional communities in Louisiana and Mississippi. Prior to its
destruction during Hurricane Rita, the Cameron library, in
particular, served as a focal point of the town. The
much-anticipated libraries, which are expected to serve the various
communities for approximately three years, opened with a series of
ribbon cutting ceremonies attended by local officials and
residents. Williams Scotsman provided wide-open shell modular units
with restrooms, ranging in size from 900 square feet to over 1,600
square feet. Residents of New Orleans and surrounding parishes
anxiously await their new libraries, scheduled for delivery by May.
�As we work toward the restoration of library services disrupted by
Rita and Katrina, we are pleased to have Williams Scotsman on
board. Their commitment to providing quality buildings and services
will help us reach our goal sooner,� stated Randy Walters, Chief
Operating Officer for SOLINET. Williams Scotsman is committed to
providing communities across the country with space solutions that
incorporate speed and flexibility, especially relevant for
reconstruction efforts in the Gulf States. �We are pleased to
participate in hurricane rebuilding efforts,� commented Gerry
Holthaus, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer for
Williams Scotsman. �Despite pockets of progress, the road to
recovery is long, and the efficiency of modular buildings help
members of these communities to return to their normal lives.
Providing assistance to communities as they reestablish quality of
life for their residents is a rewarding opportunity.� About
