"Storage Solved" in Natural History Museum

The Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale University, a premier institution in the areas of anthropology, paleontology and zoology, recently opened the Class of 1954 Environmental Sciences Center and utilized Spacesaver storage systems for most of its collections. By utilizing Spacesaver compact storage systems, the museum was able to cut storage space requirements in half.

The facility includes more than 250 high-density carriages, 40,000 drawers, 2,000 museum cabinets and 16,000 linear feet of shelving. The storage solutions allowed the facility to separate collection space from people space so that specimen storage could be better controlled.

Spacesaver and Delta Designs, Ltd. worked with the university to custom design special features that enhanced the collections’ safety. Museum cabinets, Spacesaver lockable doors and specially designed gaskets on mobile system aisles keep items secure and dust free.
