Vol. 148: LEVPRO Customization
Spacesaver accessories optimize space at an elementary schoolAn elementary school needed an organized, efficient storage system that would allow teachers to spend more time planning and preparing for class, and less time searching for equipment and supplies. While the LEVPRO compact shelving system appealed to the school’s physical education teachers, they needed to customize the standard kit to maximize space inside the unit. Any of Spacesaver’s 4-Post shelving accessories can be added to the LEVPRO system, and the school opted for bin fronts, hooks and dividers on heavy-duty support rails, and additional shelves (standard LEVPRO kits come with four shelves per shelving unit). By maximizing the available space and storing similar items together, staff can quickly and easily find what they need. |

Vol. 147: Military Workbench – Protecting Military Assets
Workbenches help protect, organize, and deploy tools and gearIn conjunction with the U.S. military, Spacesaver has developed a series of cabinets that also serve as workbenches. The workbenches are fitted with drawers of various sizes, which can hold tools, weapons, and other gear and supplies. All the workbenches feature sturdy butcher block tops that allow the cabinets to be used for equipment cleaning, repair, inventory, and other tasks. The tops are removable and replaceable, providing the opportunity to create a new work surface years after the initial purchase and installation. |

Vol. 146: Stainless Steel Drip Trays for Lockers
Drip trays prevent rusted locker bases and slippery floors Instructors and trainees at the Coast Guard Special Missions Training Center, based out of Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, needed a way to store wetsuits and other gear during and after training programs. The instructors knew from prior experience that lockers would begin to rust and leak if they were exposed to saltwater. The Spacesaver team designed and installed full-height lockers for instructors and a two-tiered locker system for students. The bottoms of the lockers are lined with stainless steel trays to prevent brackish water buildup, rust, and leaks. |

Vol. 145: In-shelf LED lighting
Innovation brightens bookstacks at a Canadian universityThe new Riddell Library and Learning Centre at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alberta, is filled with modern amenities like technology-enabled classrooms, a makerspace, and a variety of collaborative work areas. The project planning team wanted the bookstacks to be as bright, appealing, and innovative as other areas throughout the library, so they ordered Spacesaver’s illuminated library shelving. Spacesaver’s energy-efficient LED lighting system illuminates the books on each shelf and the steel shelving frames enclose a hollow conduit to provide space for electrical wiring. The end result is a complete, self-contained solution. |

Vol. 144: LEVPRO in a hospital’s sterile core
Spacesaver helps a hospital gain 38% more storage spaceA hospital in Lincoln, Nebraska, used a surgical supply room renovation as an opportunity to create a storage system that would optimize space and allow staff to use their time more efficiently. The project planning team decided to install LEVPRO, a storage system that consists of shelving units that can be rolled along an overhead track. The new LEVPRO system allowed the sterile storage area to gain 38% more space for storing surgical kits and other operating room supplies — and the system simplifies cleaning routines because the shelving units “levitate” above the floor. |

Vol. 143: Storing larger grenade launchers in UWRs
Spacesaver’s UWR efficiently stores M320 grenade launchersAs the U.S. military converts from the M203 grenade launcher to the larger, more powerful M320, Spacesaver has confirmed that M4s with the M320 attached can be stored five across in a 45” Universal™ Weapons Rack. An additional five M4s can be stored, with optics affixed, across the bottom of the rack. These photos show how it works: Spacesaver’s inverted weapons bracket securely stores five M4s with M320s across the top, and five more M4s are stored barrel up, staggered between the inverted weapons. |

Vol. 142: Thermoplastic Coating on Extra-Wide Shelves
Vol. 141: Library Electronics Upgrade
Spacesaver refreshes a university library’s high-density storage system
After providing reliable service for more than 20 years, the electronic controls on a Spacesaver high-density mobile storage system in a St. Louis university library required an upgrade.
The university opted to upgrade to Spacesaver’s Eclipse electronic system with Touch Technology™ Control. That’s because they knew the investment would significantly extend the life of the university’s assets at a fraction of the cost of purchasing a new high-density shelving system, and the streamlined conversion process would minimize disruption.

Vol. 140: HVAC integration
Architects sometimes want to specify ventilation systems that are more visually appealing than typical vents in floors, walls, or ceilings, or they might require a ventilation system that delivers heated or cooled air as evenly as possible over a large area. That was the case at the downtown public library in Vancouver, Washington, where Spacesaver’s engineers modified cantilever shelving bases to serve as vents. The library’s air handlers are located on the roof and the system pushes air down through the walls and under the floors, which are raised to accommodate computer cables and other building systems. The warm or cool air is then forced up from under the floor and out of the shelving bases throughout the building. This solution distributes air evenly throughout the library, creating a comfortable environment for patrons and staff. |
