Shelving doubles as work surface in a university library

When this university built a new library and learning center, the planning team wanted to provide researchers with convenient “desks” among the reference stacks. But to save space, they wanted to avoid the need for tables and chairs in the area.

The local Spacesaver consultant worked with the university and the project architect to design a solution that:

• Serves a useful function
• Saves space
• Integrates with the library’s interior design

By specifying counter-height cantilever shelving and casework that coordinates with other design elements throughout the library, the consultant created built-in “stand-up desks.”

Saving space and maintaining the chain of custody

Because evidence technicians typically don’t work on weekends and holidays, and because officers seize a lot of evidence during those times, some police departments can actually run out of compartments for temporary evidence storage.

Most evidence is small, like witness statements, bags of drugs, and camera memory cards. That’s why officers at this police department asked to have one compartment fitted with a drop slot in the door.

Offering visitors a glimpse behind the scenes

Visible storage is an increasingly popular solution for museums and other institutions that want to maintain optimal preservation environments, while also allowing the public to view collections.

For instance, this facility uses Spacesaver art racks to compactly store framed works of art. Interior walls made of glass allow visitors and staff a chance to view the collections as they walk along passageways.

Doubling storage capacity and improving efficiency 

Like many professional athletic teams, the St. Louis Blues hockey team has a retail store offering a variety of jerseys, hats, and other gear. Although the shop’s storage area was relatively large, the space was used inefficiently. That meant inventory was difficult to track and staff were wasting time looking for items.

The local Spacesaver consultant had already provided storage for the hockey team’s athletic gear, and the retail managers knew they wanted something similar to the system they had seen in the Blues’ equipment room.

The end result is a fully optimized system that doubled the store’s storage capacity.
