Vol. 300: Four-Tier Cannabis Grow – Updated Photos


Intensive growing operation optimizes space and maximizes yields

When a cannabis cultivation firm acquired an 80-year-old building in Oregon and set out to convert it to a modern cannabis grow, the design team wanted to optimize space throughout the facility. Space in all the rooms was tight, with about 12 feet in width, 40 feet in length, and varying ceiling heights.

Vol. 298: Complete solutions at a medical college

Saving space and promoting efficiency

A new 15,000-square-foot “simulation center” at this medical college looks like a typical campus building from the outside, but the interior tells a different story.

Instead of large lecture halls, the center offers high-tech simulation rooms complete with hyper-realistic medical equipment, high-fidelity mannequins, and video cameras for training and debriefing. The ultimate goal is to improve patient care by giving students realistic, hands-on training in medical procedures.

See how Spacesaver’s Day Use Lockers and compact mobile systems help protect valuable simulation equipment.
