Industry Solution
Museum

Frankly, we are rapidly running out of useable internal museum storage floor space within the museum environment. Acquiring additional land obviously can offer a solution to the space "squeeze." Few museums can move to the suburbs or split their facilities like industry does. And even if adjoining land can be acquired at the existing site, usually in a congested urban area, the acquisition of land is difficult…and sometimes impossible. Added to these problems is the surging impact of larger and larger collections to be stored and displayed as well as the constant need for more laboratory, research and classroom space. Hence, space for public viewing, the "tip" remains limited.

To this end, we are suggesting a discipline we call "Space Conservation." Very simply, it conserves all the millions of floor space footage currently used by vacant non-productive rows and rows of aisles...aisles needed for access to materials stored on conventional fixed-in-place storage shelving. "Space Conservation" has been made possible only with the development of high-density mobile storage systems. Spacesaver Corporation has been recognized as the leader and innovator in high-density mobilized storage systems designed specifically for museums and archival storage. The total solution, cases, racks, etc., total customization.
