All too often, a town’s historic photographs are stored away and rarely seen or appreciated. See how Spacesaver helped this public library bring the community’s history out of the archives and into public view.
Spacesaver continues to refine and expand our product offerings for the indoor cannabis industry (if you missed this morning’s webinar, you can watch it here).
This week’s Trailblazer highlights our new trays, which are durable, easy to use, and designed to promote plant health through proper drainage and light exposure.
Clients can choose from steel or ABS options.

Located in the heart of Manhattan, the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) is an internationally recognized college for design, fashion, art, communications, and business. The Museum at FIT is open to the public and it maintains an ambitious exhibition schedule, drawing from its extensive collection to mount five exhibitions per year.
After decades of growth, the collections area was becoming overcrowded, but the institute was land-locked and there was no room for an expansion. Staff had to find an efficient way to store the collection in the space they had.

Keeping track of government property that’s used by hundreds of soldiers can be a challenge, especially when soldiers have to store their gear at home. That was the case for the North Carolina National Guard.
With no central storage space for large mobility bags and other gear, soldiers had to take items home or store them in their vehicles, which led to missing gear and the resulting paperwork and lost time.

Sometimes a museum’s mission to protect and preserve artifacts, artwork, or natural history specimens results in the need to store a variety of exceptionally large or heavy objects. These objects can be cumbersome, but Spacesaver is here to help.
Local museum planning consultants can design compact mobile storage systems to optimize space and keep large objects organized and protected, just as they would for a typical museum collection.
Spacesaver’s mobile systems eliminate empty aisles to promote the efficient use of space while also maintaining the highest standards of organization, accessibility, and preservation.

Saving time and money by designing for high-density mobile systems
This library was originally designed to accommodate compact shelving, even though it wasn’t needed at the time of construction.
That advance planning paid off when the library was renovated ten years later. New Spacesaver high-density mobile systems allowed the library to hold twice as many volumes, add 200 more seats for students, and create a “smart” classroom with flexible learning spaces — all without making structural changes to the building.

Police departments and other law enforcement agencies use evidence lockers to keep evidence secure as it’s transferred from the responding officer to storage and eventually to the courtroom. But evidence lockers aren’t only for law enforcement facilities — businesses and hospitals use them, too.
With a variety of functional and aesthetic options, evidence lockers can provide end-to-end security anywhere it’s needed.
The colorful “pass-through” evidence lockers featured below were recently installed at a data center. Built into a wall, the lockers feature multiple doors on the front to keep hard drives organized and secure. A large mesh door on the back gives technicians convenient access to all the compartments.
A creative approach helped improve readiness at this Air National Guard facility, where supply technicians needed to transfer expensive gear back and forth between helicopter pilots and the supply room.
They needed a secure solution that would function similarly to pass-through evidence lockers, in which items are deposited into a locker on one side of a wall and retrieved on the other side.
During a facility remodel, the architect worked with the local Spacesaver consultant to design lockers that were a perfect fit.

The USNS Comfort is a 1000-bed hospital ship that has been deployed on humanitarian missions around the globe.
It docked in Manhattan earlier this week to help relieve New York City’s overburdened healthcare system during the COVID-19 crisis — and Spacesaver systems are on board.
Read the Trailblazer to see how Spacesaver’s engineers and manufacturing professionals created safe, efficient storage systems for the ship’s pharmacy and sterile storage areas.
Note for sales reps: This project’s procurement vehicle was the Tailored Logistics Support Program (TLS) facilitated by our VAR partner ADS. TLS is a great contract vehicle that allows for limited competition and lets the customer get exactly what they want at the lowest price to the government. Please email Pete Rooney for more info about the contract and to get connected to your ADS counterpart.
When Salt Lake City began planning a new public safety building in the heart of downtown, all services for the police and fire departments had to be housed under one roof. Space was limited in the expensive urban area, so the design team put a major emphasis on efficiency.
Like many other areas around the building, the motorcycle garage needed to make efficient use not only of limited space, but also of officers’ time. That’s why the design team opted to install custom FreeStyle® Personal Storage Lockers from Spacesaver in the garage. With lockers located right next to the motorcycle parking spaces, officers could eliminate the extra time needed to walk back and forth between duty bag storage and the garage.
