Ability to Adapt & Change is Key to Growth

This is especially for those looking to better themselves through higher education. To inspire a spirit of creativity, innovation, and development in its students, a university in Mexico City opted to make a shift in the layout of one its design labs by utilizing Spacesaver’s movable partitions within the space.

These partitions, partnered with other Spacesaver storage solutions, allowed students to adapt the space to fit their specific need and securely store their personal belongings. Let’s take a look at each of these solutions and how they came together to provide right-sized collaborative work areas and display spaces for these students.
