Explains how utilizing high-density mobile storage systems can save space, time, and money for a wide array of users with its efficient design and versatile functionality. Participants will see real-world examples of how these storage systems can be implemented to help users store materials of all shapes and sizes.
Making the Grade through Versatile Design in the K-12 Environment
Counts toward 1 AIA/IDCEC/HSW LU Credit.
Explore how designing spaces that are flexible and adaptable can facilitate positive learning outcomes and support the health and well-being of the entire school community. Participants will see real-world examples of how storage has assisted in creating transformative learning spaces.
Growth, Change and the Future of Public Safety Design
Counts toward 1 AIA/IDCEC/HSW LU Credit.
Explores how utilizing proper storage solutions can support individuals in protecting and serving their community. Participants will examine current trends and challenges within the public safety environment and explore real-world examples of facilities that have incorporated solutions designed to improve processes, boost productivity, and increase officer morale.
Transforming Libraries to Meet Users’ Changing Needs
Counts toward 1 AIA/IDCEC/HSW LU Credit.
Libraries have responded to the changing needs of the communities they serve, and are seeking to create more flexible, open, and technology-rich spaces. Architects and designers are required to design for flexibility and openness within existing and limited spaces. In this course, architects and designers will learn how to use FF&E to reduce the amount of space being used for book storage and increase the availability of space with flexible solutions.
Designing Healthcare Facilities: Improving Patient Care, Controlling Costs, and Saving Space
Counts toward 1 AIA/IDCEC/HSW LU Credit.
This course counters the misconception that storage space is “wasted” because it doesn’t visibly impact patient care and directly generate revenue. In fact, convenient and thoughtfully designed storage for supplies and equipment can actually improve productivity, patient care, and profitability.
Protecting and Preserving Materials for Civic, Public Safety and Higher Education Institutions with Off-Site Storage Solutions
Counts toward 1 AIA/HSW LU Credit
Explore strategies for safely and efficiently storing and providing access to valuable materials in off-site facilities. Participants will learn about trends driving the move to off-site storage, the storage requirements of analog materials, and the process of designing off-site facilities.
