Education
Today’s educational campuses are evolving. They are offering more diverse options and welcoming more students. With these changes comes a growing need to better utilize available space.
Spacesaver offers innovative ways to efficiently store more in the same amount of space, including novel approaches to expanding library collections storage, an assortment of sports equipment storage options, ideas for bulk food and kitchen supplies storage, music department storage, storing tools and parts or safety equipment as well as campus police –all critical applications to ensuring a safe and productive campus.
LIBRARY COLLECTIONS SOLUTIONS
Libraries offer limitless possibilities. The same is true for Spacesaver’s storage solutions. With thousands of library installations world-wide, we have unsurpassed experience providing innovative library storage solutions to meet your unique design and space challenges.
By using Spacesaver’s Mobile Storage Systems and our other library shelving solutions, you can store more in the same old space. Or you can use less space to store what you are storing now. In either case, you will create more space at a fraction of the cost of alternative solutions.
At Spacesaver we recognize that to preserve and protect the variety of media our libraries now house and to ensure safe, convenient user access to the media collections, a specialized storage strategy must be developed. The flexibility to accommodate virtually any type of filing system, cabinet or rack, and the development of numerous product innovations designed to provide user safety and enhance collection preservation have made Spacesaver the leading manufacturer of library shelving and library display systems.
EVOLVING SPACE DILEMMA
Modern libraries have evolved from their traditional roles. Libraries of all types have faced the challenge of transitioning from simple book collections to multifunctional learning centers and community gathering places. As the demand for increased and improved services grows, so grows the need for more space – often without the luxury of a growing budget.
Fortunately there is a solution to the library space dilemma that is practical and cost- effective. Spacesaver's High Density Mobile Storage Units and Mobile Library Shelving Systems can relieve space pressure in education, computer, reading and administration areas by maximizing space efficiency in collection areas. Spacesaver Mobile Storage Systems can actually double a library's collection capacity. We also provide complete relocation services, including total space planning, measuring and collections mapping through our nationwide Spacesaver Group of independent contractors.
Spacesaver offers an unequalled level of expertise and an unparalleled array of library storage solutions. Whether a central campus library is managing everything from general collections and periodicals to government documents and media collections or a prestigious research university is storing thousands of hard copy and microformat records, we’ve got it covered. We even created the concept of Mobile High-Bay Storage (MHBS) – the first-of-its-kind, off-site storage solution for space-starved institutions!
RUNNING OUT OF ROOM … BUT NOT OPTIONS
Academic libraries, ranging from main campus libraries to specialty collections for individual schools such as medicine or business, are no longer simple places for browsing, studying and quiet contemplation. Instead, they’re transforming from passive service providers to active and vital forces that provide students and faculty members with an increasing range of services. These expanded services require more library storage space. All the while, acquisition rates remain steady, and collections continue to grow.
Some have looked to digitizing and weeding collections to deal with the issue. But it’s often met without success. The challenge is even bigger for libraries working to accommodate rising enrollment.
