Vol. 338: Healthcare Solutions

Save space and promote best practices for patient care.

Space in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities is expensive: it’s expensive to design, expensive to build, and expensive to occupy. Every cubic foot that’s used for storage is space that could be used for patient care. 

Take advantage of our new webinar and show your clients how Spacesaver can optimize space in healthcare facilities!

Vol. 337: Movable Work Table

Creating a flexible workspace in an archive.

Museum and archives staff often need work areas that can do double duty, particularly if space is limited. This movable work table provides a flat surface to lay out architectural plans and other documents, and the table can be moved out of the way to create a large open area to receive and process materials.

To accommodate a variety of active projects, the table features flat-file cabinets on one side and 4-Post shelving on the other.

Vol. 336: Creative science lab design

Convenient storage in a university’s new science building.

The design team for this university’s new multi-million-dollar science building had limited lab storage space to work with, so they called in the local Spacesaver consultant for advice.

He designed high-density mobile systems with “storefront” shelving and drawers for the most frequently accessed items, like glassware and other lab supplies and equipment.

The Spacesaver system consolidates and compactly stores essential items, providing more convenient storage and reducing the time needed to look for supplies and transport them to the labs. Now faculty and staff can quickly find what they need and spend more time teaching and planning.

Vol. 335: Custom lockers for an agency office

Sleek and practical lockers for a modern workplace.

Many offices are renovating due to the increasing popularity of remote work. Even before the COVID pandemic, the Canadian government recognized that approximately 30% of office desks were empty on any given day, either due to employees’ work-related travel, vacation or sick leave, or preference for working remotely.

To optimize office space and empower in-office employees to choose their preferred work environments, the Canadian federal government has been pivoting away from assigned offices, cubicles, and desks in favor of “ABW” or Activity-Based Workplace design.

Vol. 334: Museum drawers for flat files

Optimizing space in an off-site collections facility.

Maps, drawings, and other “flat files” often pose storage challenges for staff at museums and archives.

These items need to be stored in a way that:

  • Protects the items
  • Provides safe and convenient access
  • Doesn’t waste space

See why staff at this museum chose Nantucket museum drawers to store flat files!

Vol. 332: Art storage in high-bay facilities

Consolidating and protecting a university’s art collection

High-bay facilities aren’t just for storing books and journals. These purpose-designed buildings can also provide an exceptional preservation environment for works of art. 

The planning team for this Canadian university’s off-site facility worked with Spacesaver to design art racks, shelving, and museum-quality trays to keep artwork organized and accessible.

Vol. 331: Storing COVID supplies at resorts

American Rescue Plan funding can help expand storage capacity

Resorts and gaming properties continue to deal with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. With restaurants still operating at limited capacity, and with the need to provide a constant supply of masks, hand sanitizer, and disinfectant to guests and employees, these facilities need additional back-of-house storage space for tables, chairs, boxes of bulk preparedness supplies, and more.

 

See how Spacesaver optimizes space to create more storage without a major renovation!
