KPMB Sample Library Storage

A BEAUTIFULLY ORGANIZED SAMPLE LIBRARY WHERE ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS CAN BE INSPIRED

KPMB Architects is an internationally renowned Canadian design firm located in one of the most diverse cities in the world, Toronto. Their designs prioritize the quality of the human experience through the creation of vibrant communities, and sustainable cities and places.

STORAGE EXPERTS DESIGN NEW RFID LOCKERS TO INCREASE SPA CAPACITY

KPMB Architects was moving from King West to their brand new offices in the new Globe & Mail building. They wanted to ensure that the sample library was included in the office design so they reached out to the experts at Spacesaver Solutions Inc. for help.

Working with the Librarian at KPMB, our Storage Experts designed a solution that would beautifully store and showcase their samples. The new library easily holds the firm’s binders, flooring, carpet, tile, and other materials, making everything easy to see and access. There is a place for each sample with room to grow in the future.

Our storage solution includes cantilever and 4 post shelving, as well as drawers to store all of the firm’s samples.

The cantilever shelving is mounted to the walls with adjustable shelves for added flexibility. Labeled bins sit neatly in rows storing smaller items that can be easily rearranged as needs change.

Below the cantilever shelves sits 4 post open shelving. This stores larger items such as carpet tiles, and flooring samples – making everything easy to find and access.

The 4 post shelving is also used to create three large islands in the library where staff can gather their samples and work to create cohesive design plans.

Lastly, heavy duty drawers line the walls to store a variety of items including stone countertop and colourful glass samples. The drawers feature tine perforations for ventilation, and fully extend, allowing designers to easily see what’s inside and find what they need.

Custom Modular Lockers for Employees at Dentsu Aegis Network

Dentsu Aegis Network is the first global marketing services group built for the digital economy. They are designed around their customers to drive sustainable business growth for their clients’ brands and businesses.

OPEN OFFICE CREATES STORAGE CHALLENGE FOR EMPLOYEES

For their new Toronto offices, the leaders at Dentsu Aegis Network wanted to create an open work environment that would reflect their commitment to innovation and collaboration. They wanted a flexible space that could accommodate more employees as the company grew.

The new open offices cover multiple floors of a downtown high rise, and feature a mix of workstations and collaboration areas that allow employees to choose how they want to work depending on what they’re working on.

Without permanently assigned desks or offices, employees needed a space to store their personal items so they reached out to the storage experts at Spacesaver Solutions Inc.

Modular Design Allows Staff to Rearrange Lockers to Suit Their Needs

Our Storage Experts worked with Dentsu Aegis Network to design day use lockers for their team. The concept of unassigned, day use lockers was new to the firm and they weren’t sure how employees would prefer to use them so we designed a few options to suit everyone’s needs.

The modern, black steel lockers are modular and a variety of different sizes so that they can be mixed and matched as needs change. The lockers are 3 – 5 tiers high (60”) and feature a Digilock which allows employees to access their lockers with a code.

Some employees needed secure storage for insulin and other medications that have to be refrigerated, so we designed special perforated lockers for privacy and security, with ventilation for small refrigeration units. These lockers fit in seamlessly with the other lockers at the firm.

A few weeks after the lockers had been installed, the leadership at Dentsu Aegis Network found that employees preferred their lockers to be the same size as their coworkers. Because of the modular design, we were able to rearrange the lockers to create uniform sizes for each floor.

The end result is an aesthetically pleasing personal storage system that provides security and room to grow.

UNILEVER LOCKERS OFFER DEDICATED PERSONAL SPACE IN HOTELING ENVIRONMENT

Unilever is one of the world’s leading consumer goods companies, making and selling around 400 brands in more than 190 countries. With a purpose to make sustainable living commonplace, they are committed to creating products and distribution systems that minimize environmental impacts, and invest heavily in social and environmental programs.

A MODERN SPACE WITH A FOCUS ON SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS

When Unilever started the renovation of their Toronto offices, they knew they wanted a modern space with a focus on sustainable products. They were switching from an office environment to a hoteling system where employees would choose different work environments to suit their needs throughout the day. With a hoteling system, there is no assigned seating, so employees would need space to store their personal belongings.

Unilever wanted employee lockers that would work well and look great for a long time. So they reached out to the experts at Spacesaver Solutions Inc. for help.

Our Storage Experts worked with Unilever’s designers to create a sustainable locker solution that would fit with the new modern look of their offices, and hold up to years of daily use.

400 Five-Tier Lockers Span Two Floors of Office Space

The locker solution consists of 400 locker openings spanning two floors of the new office space. This gives Unilever enough storage for current employees while allowing for future growth.

The lockers are 5 tiers high (68″), and feature steel doors and custom vinyl number graphics. The vinyl numbers can be removed and replaced in the future, allowing Unilever to create a whole new look without the expense and environmental impact of ordering new lockers.

Unilever chose combination locks so that employees would never have to worry about losing their keys. Combination locks also don’t have any batteries that need to be changed, reducing maintenance costs in the future.

Employees now have a dedicated personal space in their hoteling environment. The staff love their new space and the look and functionality of their lockers.

MLSE MODERN OPEN OFFICE FEATURES EMPLOYEE LOCKERS

Maple Leafs Sports & Entertainment Ltd. (MLSE) is Canada’s leader in delivering top quality sport and entertainment experiences to their fans. It is the parent company of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Raptors, Toronto FC, Argonauts, the Marlies, and development teams. They also provide fans in Toronto incredible live music and entertainment events.

EMPLOYEE LOCKERS OFFER CONVENIENT STORAGE AND ENHANCE THE LOOK OF THE NEW OFFICES

MLSE was remodelling their headquarters into a modern open office, changing from an environment with spacious desks to a benching system that would minimize storage. They wanted to make sure that each employee had a secure place of their own to leave their belongings so they reached out to the storage experts at Spacesaver Solutions Inc. for help.

MLSE wanted lockers that would store coats, winter boots, and other personal belongings in corridors located on each floor. In addition to optimizing space, the lockers needed to be sleek and streamlined to compliment the office’s modern aesthetic.

High Pressure Laminate Z Lockers Maximize Storage Space

Working with MLSE’s interior design team, our experts designed High Pressure Laminate Z Lockers with key locks and chrome door pulls. The lockers maximize space by providing a full width compartment at the top or bottom of each locker for storing shoes or bags, and a long half width compartment for coats or jackets.

Each floor of the building features a different colour scheme and the designers wanted to use the lockers to unify the spaces. Together, we chose a neutral blue-grey for the lockers that anchors each floor, while allowing the colours to pop.

The lockers are located in corridors adjacent to the work areas and offer convenient storage, making the best use of limited space, and enhancing the look of the new offices.

“Spacesaver Solutions Inc. provided us with a variety of laminates to choose from that suited our aesthetic. They also provided drawings and a sample locker that was a custom ‘Z’ shape that suited the client’s exact request.

We had a very tight timeline and Spacesaver Solutions Inc. worked very very hard to ensure that timeline was met. We had a great experience working with Rob!”
