It's not stated whether this is a replacement to an existing printer or as you suggest some bright sparks idea of bringing the process in-house.

In either case, I doubt any one actually thought whether the best home for such a device and its supplies was the same building as the Parliament (or did someone think that you could install this in the basement and it would provide under floor heating...)

Mind you, given the size of the beast, I assume its new home is on the ground floor; I do hope someone did do the necessary floor (point) loading tests and calculations...
