Let’s take a tour of our 10 solutions and show you how they can help you rise among the ranks of today’s best campuses.

1. First Stop, The Fieldhouse

For most colleges and universities, the buck starts in the athletic programs. Success on the field not only drives in revenue, but it also draws attention to the school and its winning tradition to prospective students. And, while this effort culminates as the championship trophy is hoisted, it all starts in the equipment room. Check out one of the many examples of a winning environment our team helped to create at the University of Oregon with our innovative storage solutions.

2. Next, Let’s Hit the Books…and More

3. Sit Tight, We’re Going Off-Site

The rise of technology and the demand for an alternative learning environment has left on-campus space at a premium. So, in order to preserve valuable resources that are not accessed as frequently as others, school administrators are taking these items off-campus to strategically categorized storage facilities. Learn how Texas State University used Spacesaver’s off-site storage solutions to free up space on campus for innovative library spaces.

4. Bonus Stop, We Hope You’re Flexible

As the current floor plan won’t always fit tomorrow’s need, campus space planners must remain flexible with their design parameters. Campus flex spaces can be adapted to fit the current use case and repurposed with little to no effort or funds. Let our design experts show you how to make the most out of customizing your school’s underutilized space.

5. Moving Forward, We Look to the Past

Not only a place for future curators to sharpen their skills, campus museums also preserve historic items and moments occurring on and off campus, while saving room for future momentous occasions. And, like all good things, these should be on display for staff, faculty, and students alike. See how Spacesaver’s visible storage solutions helped the Arizona State Museum located on the University of Arizona campus showcase more for its patrons.
