Case Study

The Rooms Uses Montel’s High-Density Customized Mobile Systems for Collection Storage and Preservation

Client: Newfoundland’s Archives, Art Gallery and Museum

Location: St. John’s, Newfoundland

Challenge: Newfoundland’s three archive and collection departments decided to combine their items under one roof, in a space called “the Rooms”. However, they soon faced a serious problem. A variety of objects, documents, boxes, paintings, etc. of all shapes and sizes needed to be stored efficiently in a space that was barely 12 feet in height.

Objective: The Montel team notably had to deal with the existing cabinets that needed to be salvaged and proposed a multi-purpose storage system that could be adapted to the different possible applications (storage of artefacts, clothing and other fabrics, paintings, manuscripts, boxes of archives, etc.).

Solution: A very versatile system offering many storage possibilities. Mobilex was the most rational choice, considering the space constraints, architecture of the premises and the diversity of the collections to be stored.
