There is never such a thing as “ample storage space” in a school setting. As the curriculum changes and as the school strength increases, there is a perpetual need for more cupboards, cabinets, draws, just to store classroom paraphernalia. Classrooms alone require safe cupboards for teachers to lock away important records, notebooks, practical records, maps and valuable textbooks.
If that’s not enough, areas such as labs and libraries require furniture that is designed to serve the purpose of specific storage. These are places where the “one cabinet fits all” policy won’t be feasible. Luckily, there is no dearth of school storage cabinets. They are available in a multitude of designs that cater to each purpose. Customization is always an option. In this article, we take you through the number of choices available with all major school furniture manufacturers.
School Storage Cabinets: Storage Solutions For Science Laboratories
A well-stocked school lab will have instruments, devices, chemicals, acids, specimens, and a whole shebang of things that are not only expensive but also dangerous and valuable. Unlike the classroom, lab storage calls for more specifically designed cabinets with unique storage features.
While there is a choice between wooden or steel cabinets, the most preferred one is the attractive wooden cabinet with glass doors. It not only gives the users a clear view of the stored contents but also allows the schools to showcase their equipment to visiting guests.
Features:
Chairs for auditoriums can vary depending on the requirements. Some prefer chairs that can help with storage, while some may prefer chairs that can be moved around. The following are three types of chairs available and categorized based on their uses.
