從處理到長期存儲。Background:
Client:莫頓植物園
Markets:Botany,Collection Storage
Completion:October 2018
The Morton Arboretum’s 1,700 acres hold more than 222,000 live plants representing nearly 4,300 taxa from around the world. The Arboretum conducts leading scientific research on tree health and tree improvement, collects and displays trees for study and enjoyment on the grounds, offers educational programming for adults and children, and presents nature-related activities year-round for people of all ages and interests.
Working with the Arboretum’s herbarium staff to find the right solution
Challenges
The Morton Arboretum needed to create long-term storage to preserve their huge collection of botanical specimens. Beyond long-term preservation, they wanted a solution to improve their workflow from the initial intake to the botany cabinet.
Plant specimens sometimes arrive at their facility in jars, boxes, plastic bags, and sometimes even paper folders, and their herbarium needed to accommodate these specimens in all their different shapes and sizes. Before making their way into long-term storage, they are temporarily stored in a processing after the initial intake.
Our design solution
使用viking櫥櫃由Spacesaver設計，我們設計了在整個工作流程中貼合的垃圾箱 - 從他們的工作站的初始攝入量，臨時存儲，最後在植物學櫥櫃內進行長期存儲。
The workstation drawers we designed to neatly fit four bins at a time, while also acting as additional work surface when pulled out from the cabinet.
