So we have been it's a constant review of these designs to ensure and maximize staffing efficiencies.
3:44:46
As we know, we are facing significant staffing issues and it's something that we do not want to repeat in our future facilities.

That being said, for the Brooklyn facility, we anticipate nearly upwards of 800 staff members that would be required to be assigned to that facility, but the designs are too early to say for the Queens and Bronx facilities.
