Vol. 289: Efficient Storage for Medical Supplies

High-density mobile system optimizes space and increases capacity

When a Midwestern cancer center expanded to treat more patients, staff urged the project design team to set aside space for better storage.

They had been struggling with inadequate medical supply storage in the existing facility for more than ten years, and they knew that treating more patients would require even more supplies. They also knew that storage would take up space that could otherwise be used for patient care.

The design team called on the local Spacesaver consultant for advice on optimizing space, increasing storage capacity, and promoting efficiency in the newly expanded facility. See the Spacesaver solution:

Vol. 288: Viking Preservation Cabinet 920 Series

Versatile cabinets for changing collections

The biggest challenge in planning a collections area is usually dealing with future uncertainty: How will collections grow over time? Could collecting priorities shift in a few years? Will we ever get more room to expand collections storage?

The versatile interior of the Viking Preservation Cabinet 920 Series helps take some of the stress out of collections space planning. Its interchangeable panels allow museum professionals to swap out accessories as collections change over time.See how Spacesaver helped the Frazier Museum in Louisville, Kentucky:

Vol. 287: ‘Z’ Lockers for Campus Police

Storing long guns and duty bags in limited space

With no available storage space for long guns, officers at a large state university’s police department had to transport the weapons to and from work in their personal vehicles. Aside from being a hassle, this arrangement presented obvious security issues. In addition, officers had to store their duty bags in unsecured cubbies during their off hours.

To improve safety, security, and convenience, each officer needed a locker that would be large enough to hold a duty bag and a long gun in its case. The problem? Space was limited, with no room to expand.See the Spacesaver solution and help your clients learn more:
