Vol. 325: Custom Lockers for Central Park

Keeping grounds crews comfortable and organized

Grounds crews for the Central Park Conservancy in Manhattan work outdoors year-round, in all weather, to keep the park clean and safe for visitors. After their shifts, they return to their locker room with muddy boots, snowy hats, or wet raincoats.

An architect for the Conservancy wondered if she could acquire sturdy, high-quality police-style lockers for the hard-working crews. She called in local Spacesaver consultants, who visited the locker room, assessed the space, and collaborated with Spacesaver’s engineers to design custom lockers that were a perfect fit.
