Putting Items Up, Up, & Away

Even if it’s going to be a long, long time ‘til touchdown brings them back around to find their gear, proper storage makes a world of difference for today’s rocket men and women. This fact was not lost in space for curators at the National Air and Space Museum, but opportunity was being lost in their space.  

The cabinets used to store their spacesuits only extended to fill 84” of the nearly 115” of vertical space between the floor and the lighting, leaving an unexplored frontier for a willing adventurer. Spacesaver’s local rep, Matt Potocko of Spacesaver Interiors, was up for the challenge.  

Working with the talented team at mission control in Fort Atkison, he was able to land a solution that would perfectly fit the museum’s needs and the air up there above the 84” cabinets. The end result was 40 engineered-to-order (ETO) 30” ‘mini’ cabinets, designed to allow for dedicated venting and secure storage of helmets and other accessories.

Preserving Seats for the Rodeo

Bust out your boots, this Halloween Trailblazer is all about what our local rep up north did for The Calgary Stampede’s Sam Centre – who was looking for a hazer to steer preservation of its storied history. Coming strong out the chute, Allan Hansen and the team at Heritage Business Interiors (HBI) were able to rope themselves a unique project with their best-in-class reputation.

See how HBI – in conjunction with our in-house designers – was able to deliver the first saddle storage systems mounted on 4-Post Shelving that are tough enough to handle the tools of the roughest riders, preserving them for visitors to experience for years to come.

Keeping Steps On The Treadmill

While it may seem a bit ironic, the ability to take the fewest steps from the locker room to the training space is a valuable option for those looking to get a good workout in. This concept was a main driver for the Vivo Rec Center’s desire to install a bank of lockers within the center of its floorspace, allowing it to provide a closer option for patrons to get in, get ready, and get their wellness activity going.

Having seen Spacesaver’s Day Use Lockers in an awareness campaign executed by Heritage Business Interiors (HBI) – Spacesaver’s representative in Calgary, Alberta – the project’s architect knew they wanted to include this versatile solution in the Center’s update. Knowing the solutions would need to fit both the footprint and aesthetic of the space, HBI’s Allan Hansen worked with the Center’s team to maximize locker openings while adhering to the look and feel of the space.

See how he was able to provide the Center with a high-performance solution to support its high-performing patrons.
