This high school athletics department needed a better way to store gear for multiple sports, so coaches and team managers jumped at the chance to re-think their storage soon after an addition was built onto the existing high school.
Security was one of their top priorities. Although theft at the school generally wasn’t a problem, they knew from experience that items could sometimes “disappear” when someone urgently needed an item that was in short supply in their team’s storage area. As a result of those experiences, the coaches and managers wanted separate locking sections for each sport so they would always know exactly what their teams had on hand.

A county museum in suburban Chicago had been storing its collections in retrofitted agricultural buildings. When the museum had the opportunity to move to a renovated office building in a nearby city, staff made the most of their chance to design a collections area that would protect the collections for generations to come, while also optimizing the space.

Spacesaver provided everything the museum needed:

When Lake County (Illinois) gave its Sheriff’s Department a large area in a new building for evidence storage, the evidence manager called on the local Spacesaver consultant to help analyze the department’s storage needs and explain their options. Together they came up with a plan to secure the chain of custody throughout the facility.
In part because of new evidence storage equipment and processes, the department earned accreditation from the Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Program soon after move-in.

Spacesaver’s museum-quality textile roll storage racks provide compact storage for rolled items, including flags, quilts, tapestries, and other textiles. The racks are available in single-faced or double-faced configurations and can be directly attached to the floor, a wall, or a carriage-and-rail system.

Managers of cold storage facilities all face the same challenge: they want to store the most stock in the least amount of space, but they also need to maintain safe and convenient access to every item. That was the case at a large beer distributorship in Chicago, where the owners had been dissatisfied with their cooler storage situation for years.
The distributorship improved customer service and created a safer and more efficient work environment by installing an ActivRAC® Mobilized Storage System.

The system resulted in better selectivity, fewer write-offs, and a safer workflow. “We gained a lot more than we had imagined,” said the head operations manager. “We feel like we can do anything now that we’ve got the barrel cooler straight. It’s a major savings.”

Libraries, offices, and other “wired” environments often install raised floors to conceal ethernet cables and other hardware, while still providing easy access for maintenance and repair.
For more than 20 years, Spacesaver has been integrating rail systems with raised flooring, resulting in solutions that save space in connected workplaces.

This solution applies to moving walls, high-density storage systems, mobile islands, and other Spacesaver rail-based applications.

Secure, space-saving solutions for records and confidential files

Locking tambour doors provide an additional layer of security for police departments, offices, manufacturing facilities, and other workplaces that store particularly valuable items or confidential files.

For this new courthouse in Tennessee, Spacesaver integrated tambour doors from Pentagon Security Shutters with shelving and high-density systems to create convenient, visually appealing solutions that save space and maintain confidentiality.

Secure storage for library materials

A growing number of university libraries are staying open 24 hours a day to meet increased student demand for study areas and collaboration space. Because circulation desks typically aren’t staffed around the clock, libraries need a secure way to store materials that have been requested for pick-up.

For this library in Kentucky, Spacesaver designed a counter-height compacting system that could be expanded for easy access in the morning, and then closed and locked at night.

Protecting and organizing a museum’s conservation supplies

Conservators at this museum needed to store large pieces of foam and archival paperboard, as well as pre-constructed archival boxes, rolled foam, and other supplies. They also wanted part of the storage area to be lockable.

They chose Spacesaver’s RaptorRAC® Widespan Shelving for its spacious dimensions, durability, and configurability. Two sets of tall locking doors were fitted to 4-Post shelving inside one of the openings, creating secure “cabinets” within the RaptorRAC framework.

Protecting law enforcement personnel from accidental weapons discharge

While accidental weapons discharges in law enforcement facilities are rare, the incidents can be serious, sometimes resulting in serious injury or death. Weapons collected as evidence pose particular risk because officers might not be as familiar with the operation of evidentiary weapons as they are with weapons they were trained on.

While following proper evidence handling protocol goes a long way toward ensuring everyone’s safety at the crime scene and throughout the chain of custody, a major Arizona law enforcement agency wanted to take additional precautions. To help guard against accidental injury, the agency worked with their local Spacesaver representative and Spacesaver’s engineering team to design pass-through lockers with ballistic protection.
