High-bay shelving facilities aren’t just big warehouses: they’re specialized buildings with specific needs for climate control, material retrieval and replacement, and other concerns.

One major consideration is staff safety. As with any large building, high-bay facilities are required to have multiple egress routes.

The Spacesaver team worked with the University of Texas at Austin to develop a solution that maximizes shelving space while still providing a way for staff to exit the building in case of fire or other emergency.
