Millikin University Library Upgrades to Spacesaver High-density Shelving
Background:
Client:Millikin University
Departments:圖書館Main Stacks
Completion:8/03/2017
Millikin University was building a new library as a part of theirUniversity Commons facility,opening for the 2017 fall semester. They wanted to update their collection using powered high-density storage to allow for more shelf space in less square footage.
Their library collection includes:
- 40,000 square feet of study, stacks, and service space on four floors
- Over 189,000 physical items in the Library
- Over 1,000 titles of print periodicals, some going back to the early 1900’s and many to the 1970’s
- A print reference collection of over 6,000 titles (encyclopedias, almanacs, indexes)
- 和more…
Our solution:
We bid the project featuring Spacesaver Eclipse powered高密度擱架. The powered system does all the work for the user, making it ideal for heavier objects like books. However, to ensure the safety of library students’ and faculty’s safety, we includedZero Force Sensors® (ZFS), a laser system that halts operation when a person (or object) is detected between shelves during operation.
At Bradford Systems, not only do we have the most experienced storage consultants, but our connections withvendors,contractors,和architectsallows us to bid better storage solutions at a competitive price.
