Vol. 311: Rapid Readiness Box

A training classroom that’s also an armory

When the staff of this designing a new military training facility, one of the staff’s primary goals was to create a weapons classroom. Because the military doesn’t distinguish between active and historic weapons, the classroom’s weapons storage system had to comply with all regulations for active armories, which include fully securing the weapons.

The training center’s staff called on the local Spacesaver consultant for design assistance, and he devised a creative solution to provide visibility as well as security.

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.

Spacesaver’s Oregon-based cannabis consultant designed a GROW mobile system that integrates perfectly with the firm’s unique approach to growing cannabis, which is an intensive cultivation style with high plant density. A local fabrication shop supplied steel inserts. Help your clients learn more:
