Increasing Capacity for Their Growing Collection
Background:
Client:Indiana State Museum
Departments:Biology, Anthropology, Archeology, Skeleton, Reference
時間線：5/28/2017 – 8/29/2017
The original collection of theIndiana State Museum在1862年開始，在內戰期間，當國家圖書館員R. Deloss Brown開始收集他在內閣中收集礦物質和其他許多技巧。從那些謙虛的開始，該係列與博物館一起發展和發展，並於2002年在印第安納波利斯的白河公園結束了。從那時起，該係列繼續增長，他們需要額外的空間。
Challenge:
Configuring adequate space for each department within the already crowded vaults. Basically, expand storage without expanding square footage. Another hurdle was finding a solution for the large skeletal pieces that couldn’t be “pushed” or “pulled” off a shelf.
解決方案：
我們與博物館的Traci Cromwell合作，與每個部門的策展人見麵並建立個人需求。
為了利用空間，我們使用了樓層安裝的ActivRAC，以便我們可以將鐵路運行到現有的機櫃和擱架，而無需移動現有的貨架或內容。此外，ActivRAC符合其集合的所有重量標準，許多偽像稱重數百磅。
現在Spacesaverand Viking are one company, merging the two product lines allowed us to develop a custom 8’W x 4’D drawer to fit into RaptorRAC shelving. This custommetal wide-span shelving允許大型骨架件拆卸抽屜而不會損壞。
The custom drawers are meant to withhold a minimum of 500lbs, after a few tweaks the glides move with ease. We added Rousseau drawers to SSC four-post and took advantage of RaptorRAC for taxidermy pieces in Biology.
