Keeping personal belongings secure and away from fragile equipment

The design team for a state university’s new science building put a lot of thought into the labs, classrooms, and other areas. Unfortunately, though, they didn’t think about storage for personal belongings.

The lack of personal storage became an issue as soon as the labs opened, because food, drink, backpacks, bags, and personal electronic devices were prohibited in the labs. As a result, students had to pile their items in the corridor outside the labs’ entrances.

To get personal belongings up off the floor, Spacesaver created Day Use Lockers with keypad locks with an integrated handle, and the design team chose high-pressure laminate (HPL) doors in the university’s colors to create a dramatic accent in the corridor.Help your clients learn more:

Ensuring code compliance and optimizing canopy area

When the owners of a cannabis firm retrofitted an existing building to create a new indoor cultivation facility, they wanted to boost productivity by optimizing grow area. 

As with many retrofits, the facility’s architectural constraints required creativity and custom layouts. The owners and the cultivation manager worked with the San Francisco-area Spacesaver consultant to design a GROW Mobile System that would optimize yields in the facility’s six grow rooms.Help your clients learn more:

Optimizing space aboard a decommissioned aircraft carrier

Spacesaver helps protect collections in museums of all shapes and sizes, even when they’re located in places that were never intended to be used as museums. The USS Yorktown, for example, was an aircraft carrier before being decommissioned by the US Navy fifty years ago. It’s now anchored at Patriot’s Point near Charleston, S.C., where it serves as a maritime museum. 

Among the artifacts stored on board is a collection of flags that commemorate the ship and the times during which it sailed. Finding a way to organize and properly store the museum’s historic flags was a challenging task, especially given the oddly shaped spaces that were designated for museum storage onboard the vessel.   Help your clients learn more:

Securing personal belongings and protecting special collections

When a major urban library underwent a complete interior renovation, staff wanted to improve public access to the expanded special collections area while continuing to protect the rare and fragile objects in the collections.

They prohibited patrons from bringing food and other potentially damaging items into the special collections area, so they needed to provide secure temporary storage nearby. The design team chose Spacesaver’s sturdy steel locker frame encased in custom wooden doors and surrounds.   Help your clients learn more:
