Campus Archival Storage

Libraries and archives are struggling to find enough storage space for their growing collections of irreplaceable materials. This is a big concern for institutions that need to not only maintain their collections, but also expand them while offering more open, flexible workspaces such as collaborative work areas, classrooms, makerspaces, and meeting rooms.

One way to free up space is by moving seldom-accessed materials to an off-site library shelving system. High-bay systems are specifically designed for off-site storage and provide optimal space efficiency, accessibility, and protection for stored materials.

 

WHY OFF-SITE SHELVING?

Archive Storage

High-bay shelving is becoming increasingly popular in libraries across the U.S. and Canada for a number of reasons.

Some libraries are landlocked in urban locations or on campus, making it difficult to expand their facilities. In other cases, the high price of real estate can be prohibitive. Additionally, some libraries are located in historically or architecturally significant buildings, where an expansion would damage the aesthetic appeal.

  • Featuring bright, open workspaces. Also storing art collections.
  • Repurposing library space for modern uses.
  •  Library robotic retrieval system vs. Spacesaver High-Bay library shelving.

SHELVING WITH DRAWERS

Shelving with drawers

A system combining shelving and drawers can efficiently store all types of equipment while occupying the smallest floor space possible.

KEEP LAB EQUIPMENT SAFE & ORGANIZED

Academic buildings and laboratories are key to attracting great students and faculty, and providing students with an excellent learning experience. Laboratory storage systems need to keep students safe, protect expensive lab supplies and equipment, and keep everything organized and accessible.

Storage in science labs can be particularly challenging because they need to provide enough space for students and researchers to work, while also storing equipment and materials like glassware, electronics, fuel, and potentially hazardous chemicals.

To ensure the safety of those using the lab and to maintain a clean working environment, we provide day-use lockers near the entrance. This allows staff and students to store food, drink, and other prohibited items securely, without taking up space in the lab itself.

 

Protect Students and Equipment with High-Density Lab Shelving

Campus Higfh Density shelving

Space is always tight on campus, and storage for science labs can be especially challenging. Labs need to provide plenty of space for students and researchers to work, while also storing equipment and materials like fragile glassware and electronics, combustible fuel, and potentially hazardous chemicals.

 

A Spacesaver compact shelving system with “storefront” shelving can help provide quick access to frequently-used items with greater capacity in the storage room or lab shelving area. Our lab shelving systems move with the touch of a button for aisle access while doubling storage capacity. The soft-stop option keeps fragile equipment safe and accessible.

 LAB SHELVING WITH QUICK ACCESS TO FREQUENTLY USED ITEMS

The design team for science education buildings want to provide quick and easy access to laboratory supplies and equipment. They often have limited storage space to work with, We can design high-density mobile systems with open shelves at the ends for storing the most frequently accessed items, like glassware and other lab supplies and equipment. Now professors and instructors can quickly find what they need and get back to teaching and planning.

LAB SHELVING FOR CHEMICAL STORAGE

Chemical storage in university science labs can be a hazard if the fumes and conditions aren’t handled correctly. Our lab shelving can be fitted with locking doors to promote safety and visibility, while louvered vents and HVAC integration improve ventilation. These cabinets can be included within Spacesaver high-density shelving systems to minimize your storage footprint and make more room for student workspaces.

 

  • Increase Storage Capacity – our shelves can accommodate more chemicals than other storage methods, so you can make the most of your space.
  • Promote Ventilation & Security – with our ventilation system, you can ensure that fumes are properly dispersed, and with our locking doors, you can keep dangerous chemicals out of reach.
  • See Items in Storage – with our clear shelves, you can easily see what chemicals are stored where, so you can find what you need quickly and safely.

Our storage solutions are designed with clinics in mind, ensuring that supplies are always within reach.

 

WAREHOUSES & MAINTENANCE

Campus warehouses are an integral part of campus life, and pose unique storage challenges. Some items might sit in a warehouse for months or years before they’re put to use, while others, like surplus office furniture, might need to be housed in the warehouse for less than a week. Changes in product mix are particularly noticeable in campus warehouses with the seasonal flow of surplus items, office supplies, and other supplies and equipment. In order to maintain a flexible and adaptable floor plan, it is important to have a system that can accommodate these changes without significantly modifying the configuration of pallet racking and shelving.

All these factors combine to create massive storage challenges. And when you consider that campus real estate is becoming increasingly valuable, you can see why it’s important to maximize available space in existing warehouses.

Warehouse Storage

Consolidate Storage to Free Up Floor Space

When it comes to warehouses, many people envision a building packed with pallet racking and shelving with wide aisles. However, we’ve found that our clients who operate on college campuses often need open floor space for other purposes, such as:

  • Displaying surplus items
  • Seasonal parking for mowers and small utility vehicles
  • Working areas for staging, repairs, and other tasks

 

Free up floor space by consolidating racking with one or two movable aisles.

We want to keep our campus warehouses safe and free of clutter, so that everyone can access them easily. This is especially important for the safety of employees who don’t normally work in the warehouse.

When designing a warehouse organization plan, consider mounting pallet racking on moveable “carriages” along a long back wall to free up floor space for other uses.

 

Aisles can be opened at the point of need, and the aisles can be wide enough to accommodate forklifts and hand trucks.

Optimize Space in Pallet Racking

We recommend that you take photos of your pallet racking and other storage systems over the course of at least 12 months before designing your warehouse floor plan. This will give you a better understanding of how the mix changes throughout the year, so that you can make more informed decisions about purchasing extra beams and positioning them closer together. Doing so will create additional pallet positions for smaller items and help to avoid empty space within the racking.

Design a flexible, adaptable floor plan

Your warehouse floor plan can’t change every time you take in new materials, so you need to design a system that’s flexible enough to accept a wide variety of stored items. A mix of storage types helps make the most of your space while also keeping everything in the warehouse organized and accessible:

A repair area features a workbench with steel pegboard and shelving for tools.

For heavy or bulk items, industrial-quality mobile pallet racking keeps large and heavy items organized and accessible.
