Vol. 268: Building for the Future

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.
