Vol. 336: Creative science lab design

Convenient storage in a university’s new science building.

The design team for this university’s new multi-million-dollar science building had limited lab storage space to work with, so they called in the local Spacesaver consultant for advice.

He designed high-density mobile systems with “storefront” shelving and drawers for the most frequently accessed items, like glassware and other lab supplies and equipment.

The Spacesaver system consolidates and compactly stores essential items, providing more convenient storage and reducing the time needed to look for supplies and transport them to the labs. Now faculty and staff can quickly find what they need and spend more time teaching and planning.

Vol. 335: Custom lockers for an agency office

Sleek and practical lockers for a modern workplace.

Many offices are renovating due to the increasing popularity of remote work. Even before the COVID pandemic, the Canadian government recognized that approximately 30% of office desks were empty on any given day, either due to employees’ work-related travel, vacation or sick leave, or preference for working remotely.

To optimize office space and empower in-office employees to choose their preferred work environments, the Canadian federal government has been pivoting away from assigned offices, cubicles, and desks in favor of “ABW” or Activity-Based Workplace design.

Vol. 334: Museum drawers for flat files

Optimizing space in an off-site collections facility.

Maps, drawings, and other “flat files” often pose storage challenges for staff at museums and archives.

These items need to be stored in a way that:

  • Protects the items
  • Provides safe and convenient access
  • Doesn’t waste space

See why staff at this museum chose Nantucket museum drawers to store flat files!
