Custom workstations
Streamlining workflows and protecting botanical specimens

Spacesaver specializes in understanding clients’ needs and creating custom solutions to help achieve their goals.

For instance, the Morton Arboretum in suburban Chicago needed to create an optimal long-term preservation environment for a variety of botanical specimens, including fruit collections, seeds, and flowers.

Botany cabinets were the obvious solution, but long-term storage was only part of the equation: the arboretum also needed to keep specimens organized and protected as they moved through the intake process, from the time of their arrival at the herbarium until they were placed in their permanent location.

See the Spacesaver solution.

NOTE TO SALES REPS:

  • Some researchers also like pull-out work surfaces in their herbarium/botany cabinets. This might be a good question to ask your clients during the planning phase.
  • Staff will also be concerned with being able to isolate material when it comes in for processing so pests are not introduced into the collection.
