Saving and protecting museum objects, no matter the size

Sometimes a museum’s mission to protect and preserve artifacts, artwork, or natural history specimens results in the need to store a variety of exceptionally large or heavy objects. These objects can be cumbersome, but Spacesaver is here to help.

Local museum planning consultants can design compact mobile storage systems to optimize space and keep large objects organized and protected, just as they would for a typical museum collection.

Spacesaver’s mobile systems eliminate empty aisles to promote the efficient use of space while also maintaining the highest standards of organization, accessibility, and preservation.

Saving time and money by designing for high-density mobile systems

This library was originally designed to accommodate compact shelving, even though it wasn’t needed at the time of construction.

That advance planning paid off when the library was renovated ten years later. New Spacesaver high-density mobile systems allowed the library to hold twice as many volumes, add 200 more seats for students, and create a “smart” classroom with flexible learning spaces — all without making structural changes to the building.

Providing end-to-end security at businesses and hospitals

Police departments and other law enforcement agencies use evidence lockers to keep evidence secure as it’s transferred from the responding officer to storage and eventually to the courtroom. But evidence lockers aren’t only for law enforcement facilities — businesses and hospitals use them, too.

With a variety of functional and aesthetic options, evidence lockers can provide end-to-end security anywhere it’s needed.

The colorful “pass-through” evidence lockers featured below were recently installed at a data center. Built into a wall, the lockers feature multiple doors on the front to keep hard drives organized and secure. A large mesh door on the back gives technicians convenient access to all the compartments.

Saving time and improving military readiness

A creative approach helped improve readiness at this Air National Guard facility, where supply technicians needed to transfer expensive gear back and forth between helicopter pilots and the supply room.

They needed a secure solution that would function similarly to pass-through evidence lockers, in which items are deposited into a locker on one side of a wall and retrieved on the other side.

During a facility remodel, the architect worked with the local Spacesaver consultant to design lockers that were a perfect fit.

Storing sterile supplies and pharmaceuticals aboard a Navy hospital ship

The USNS Comfort is a 1000-bed hospital ship that has been deployed on humanitarian missions around the globe.

It docked in Manhattan earlier this week to help relieve New York City’s overburdened healthcare system during the COVID-19 crisis — and Spacesaver systems are on board.

Read the Trailblazer to see how Spacesaver’s engineers and manufacturing professionals created safe, efficient storage systems for the ship’s pharmacy and sterile storage areas.
