Vol. 365: Good Things Happen When You Tri

We’ve said it once before, we’ll say several times again – museums traditionally only display about 3% of their collections at any given time. A stunning fact that always leads to the question of how to efficiently and effectively store the other 97%.

For the Glenbow Museum in Calgary – who was in the midst of planning for a more than $120 million renovation – this question loomed even larger as the renovation did not plan to expand the footprint of their art storage space. Knowing they needed to find a way to maximize capacity for supporting their growing collections, they reached out to Allan Hansen, their local Spacesaver representative at Heritage Business Interiors.

After assessing the storage space and gaining an understanding of the museum’s desired layout, Allan (with support from our Major Projects team) compiled a solution that included Wall-Mounted Art Racks and Tri-File Art Racks. Mounted on overhead supported tracks, the Tri-File Art Racks allow for an additional row of storage than the initially proposed Bi-File Art Racks; truly maximizing the available space.
