University Archives and Museums
Display and Preserve College Collections
University museums and archives serve many purposes on campus, including preserving the school’s and its surrounding community’s history, providing interactive teaching opportunities, and offering dynamic learning environments. Spacesaver storage solutions help university museums optimize space, encourage engagement, keep collections secure, and maximize budgets.
Optimize Available University Archives Space
Archives and museum spaces house valuable historical documents and artifacts. Not only do colleges need to make the most of every available square inch in these locations, but they also need to remain organized so these priceless items aren’t damaged or go missing.
Spacesaver’s High-Density Mobile Storage systems eliminate wasted aisle space, allowing twice as much storage in the same footprint. Customizable with a wide array of sizes, colors, and end panel materials, our Powered High-Density Mobile Storage units also enhance safety via our Safety Sweep, Photo Sweep®, Aisle Entry Sensor, and Zero Force Sensor® solutions.
Custom University Archive Applications
With countless focuses and academic specialties at universities around the world, Spacesaver’s experts know that no two campus collections are the same. Our 4-Post Shelving solutions are reconfigurable, allowing schools to maximize their space while retaining the flexibility to adapt to future requirements.
Colleges can also take advantage of Spacesaver 4-Post Shelving with Nantucket Drawers and Trays to ensure items of all sizes remain organized, accessible, and protected from Agents of Deterioration. Innovative options, including doors, dividers, and modular accessories ensure the longevity of any university museum’s collections.
Hanging Storage for University Archives
When museum collections require specialized storage solutions, universities turn to Spacesaver Art Racks. Available with punched screen or woven wire to accommodate any hanging art collection, our art racks can be mounted to the wall, floor, our mobile carriages, or overhead supports to ensure every university’s museum or archive utilizes every inch of space available without damaging priceless works.
