Montel Provides Westminster Law Library with High-Density Mobile Shelving Solution

Client: University of Denver

Location: Denver, CO, United States

Challenge: When the contracted architect firms were in the process of designing the new Westminster Law Library, library officials from the University of Denver highlighted that fixed library shelving was a major concern with the library’s yearly growing book collection.

Objective: The librarians of Westminster Law Library wanted to economically optimize the library space for its actual storage needs and for the projected 10-year book collection growth.

Solution: Wanting to improve the University of Denver’s library space organization and storage needs in order to serve its student community adequately, Montel proposed a custom-design high-density mobile library shelving solution that was ADA compliant.

Product Description

The following Montel high-density mobile solution was installed:

Montel Mobilex high-density mobile storage system;
Montel Aetnastak cantilever library shelving;
An exact 20” deep footprint on a quarter of the shelving units;
Enclosed tube connected frames preventing books to be inserted leading to potential volume damage;
Welded-frame uprights providing strength and additional rigidity;
Fourth-bend shelf construction increasing strength and eliminating sharp edges.
