These presentations cover a variety of subjects and award continuing education credits to all who attend. Each program is 60 minutes: 50 minute presentation and 10 minute Q&A. We can provide insightful expertise and we will bring lunch! If you would prefer, we can also present virtually.
Protecting and preserving materials for civic, public safety and higher education institutions with off-site storage solution
One AIA/HSW LU
Although the world is becoming more digital every day, analog materials like books, museum artifacts, and police evidence are still central to many institutions’ missions. This presentation explores strategies for safely and efficiently storing and providing access to these valuable materials in off-site facilities. Participants will learn about trends driving the move to off-site storage, the storage requirements of analog materials, and the process of designing off-site facilities. We’ll also cover real-world cases involving a university, a police department, a museum, and a public library.
making the grade through versatile design in the
k-12 environment
One AIA/HSW LU
Due to the changing trends in pedagogy, flexibility is needed throughout the K-12 campus to keep students at the center and enable their success. This presentation will explore how designing spaces that are flexible and adaptable can facilitate positive learning outcomes and support the health and well-being of the entire school community. Participants will see real-world examples of how storage has assisted in creating transformative learning spaces. In addition attendees will learn how utilizing High-Density Mobile Shelving and other storage solutions can help support LEED certification and sustainability efforts.
Transforming Libraries to Meet Users' Changing Needs
One AIA/HSW LU or one IDCEC/HSW credit
Libraries have responded to the changing needs of the communities they serve, and are seeking to create more flexible, open, and technology rich spaces. Architects and designers are required to design for flexibility and openness within existing and limited spaces. In this course, architects and designers will learn how to combat these challenges by using furniture, fixtures, and wquipment that are able to reduce the amount of space being used for book storage and increase the availability of space with flexible FF&E.
Integrating storage across campus: how adaptability starts with flexible storage
One AIA/HSW LU or one IDCEC/HSW credit
Planning spaces for higher education environments is about much more than lecture halls and dorms – A campus is a place of learning and working, socializing and relationship-building, wellness and discovery. This presentation will walk you through how to design facilities that not only help recruit & retain students and faculty, but also manage risk, improve efficiencies and safety, and help create flexible, future-proof spaces. It will also outline trends and challenges that are impacting campus facility design and demonstrates how thoughtful storage solutions can help create highly functional interior spaces and directly influence the campus’ ability to achieve its mission.
how to design for space constraints in various workspaces
One AIA/HSW LU or one IDCEC/HSW credit
Learn how to design for space constraints in a variety of workplaces from the office, to educational institutions, to museums and beyond. This course explores furniture, fixtures, and equipment that contribute to maximizing space through design. This course will provide FF&E solutions that maximize space, are aesthetically pleasing and contribute to occupant wellness. Participants will learn how functional solutions can be incorporated into a workplace’s design and provide for occupants needs.
preservation & engagement: best practices for collections storge and facility planning
One AIA/HSW LU or one IDCEC/HSW credit
The purpose of this presentation is to help architects design museum collections storage areas that are safe, efficient, and engaging. The first part of the presentation will discuss museum workspace and workflow issues and how they are impacted by FF&E. The second portion will discuss structural and risk management issues unique to collections storage areas. The session will also include a brief discussion of the challenges and opportunities presented by making collections storage and work areas visible to the public.
GROWTH, CHANGE, AND THE FUTURE OF PUBLIC SAFETY DESIGN
One AIA/HSW LU or one IDCEC/HSW credit
This presentation explores how proper storage solutions can support the public safety sector in protecting and serving their community. We will examine current trends and challenges within this environment and explore real-world examples of facilities that have incorporated solutions designed to create workflows, improve processes, boost productivity, and increase officer morale. In addition, we’ll underline all the major planning requirements to consider such as floor loading, ventilation, lighting, and LEED® certification.
designing healthcare facilities: improving patient care, controlling costs, and saving space
One AIA/HSW LU
Space in healthcare centers is expensive to design, build, and occupy, and every cubic foot that’s used for storage is space that could be used for patient care. This presentation counters the misconception that storage space is “wasted” because it doesn’t visibly impact patient care and directly generate revenue. In fact, convenient and thoughtfully designed storage for supplies and equipment can actually improve productivity, patient care, and profitability. Participants will examine challenges with the healthcare environment that affect workflows and the health, safety, and welfare of occupants; learn how FF&E can contribute to occupant wellness and LEED certification; and view real-world case studies.
weighing the advantages of high-density storage
One AIA/HSW LU
By understanding the design and decision-making process incorporated with installing high-density mobile storage (HDMS) systems, unnecessary delays and changes can be identified and eliminated earlier within renovations and new construction projects. This course will provide several strategies for accommodating heavy storage system loads, including how best to re-orient, redistribute, relocate, reconfigure, and reinforce floor loads, in addition to sharing examples of post-construction modifications and the role high-density storage plays in safely and securely storing more in less space.
Modernizing Capabilities and Enhancing Readiness with Storage Solutions for the Military
One AIA/HSW LU or one IDCEC/HSW credit
Learn about Department of Defense initiatives, and how storage solutions can support modernization and readiness of the military by department. This course explores how furniture, fixtures, and equipment can maximize space, increase security, enhance occupant wellness, and contribute to DoD initiatives by incorporating functional solutions into military base design. Participants will learn how to leverage contracts as part of an effective acquisition method for their military clients.
