Off-Site Book Depository

Libraries and archives are trying to fit an increasing number of irreplaceable materials into a decreasing amount of storage space. This is of particular concern for institutions that need to maintain and expand their collections while offering more open, flexible workspaces such as collaborative work areas, classrooms, makerspaces, and meeting rooms.

Why Off-Site Shelving?

From our experience there are numerous reasons as to why a library would want to move their collections offsite. Here are a few:

  • Some are landlocked in urban locations and/or on campus and can’t build an addition simply because there is no space available for expansion.
  • In areas where adjacent lots or other parcels are available, the high price of real estate can be prohibitive.
  • Some libraries are located in historically or architecturally significant buildings, and building an expansion would damage their aesthetic appeal.
