Space Planning Tips from Spacesaver


Clerk of Courts achieves density and efficiency goals using a variety of
storage methods.

The Lake County Court House in Painesville, Ohio was in need of expansion. They were completely out of space and putting records wherever room could be found. Employees would have to search on multiple floors for a record.

They purchased an old post office building located next door and remodeled it for the Clerk of Courts offices, as well as other offices. During the new construction planning, the storage areas were redesigned to maximize capacity and consolidate most of their records into one area.

The Clerk of Courts offices take in approximately 6,000 new records a year. A combination of rotary systems and high-density mobile systems are used to make the office run efficiently. Twenty-two rotary systems, which are used to store active case files, as well as counter-height systems used in accounting, provide convenient accessibility for high-use files. The powered mobile systems store a large amount of older, less active case files in a small amount of space.

Storage solutions (design, layout and installation) provided by Ron Tallon, Central Business Group, Cleveland, Ohio, in conjunction with Spacesaver Corporation.
