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.

  • Provides safe and convenient access
  • Doesn’t waste space

American Rescue Plan funding can help expand storage capacity

Resorts and gaming properties continue to deal with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Vol. 328: Anatomy Lab Cabinets

Protecting and storing valuable study aids

When the anatomy department at this college of podiatry was relocated to a new, smaller space in the building, the professors needed to optimize storage of their collection of study aids, which includes delicate and expensive human bones.The new space was about 30% smaller. Realizing they needed professional help to make the best use of the space, they contacted their nearby Spacesaver consultant for assistance.

He assessed the collection of bones and other study aids and designed locking Spacesaver 4-Post “cabinets” for two separate areas in the department.

Could a school or campus in your territory use a similar solution?

Reminder that Spacesaver will be closed Friday, July 2, and Monday, July 5, in observance of Independence Day. Have a safe and happy 4th of July!
