 | NCAA Division III champions, the UW Whitewater Warhawks, were in need of a storage overhaul. Their equipment room was overcrowded and terribly disorganized. There were carts and mobile shoulder pad racks positioned in the middle of aisles, in the way of other equipment. There was old equipment that should have been discarded but had been placed on old wooden shelves or in old wooden cabinets to get it out of the way temporarily. These conditions made it very difficult for the team to stay organized. |
Due to the equipment manager’s previous experience with Spacesaver while he was an intern, he started to explore alternate storage solutions for the space that could help get the team (and the equipment) more organized.
An extensive space analysis was completed by Storage Systems Midwest, the authorized Spacesaver Representative in Wisconsin, and High Density Mobile with custom end panels became a big part of the storage solution, as well as other shelving, drawers, carts, and work surfaces.
 | Today, the space is used much more effectively. They are able to keep like-type items stored in equipment designed specifically for those items. Helmets, shoulder pads, pants, jerseys, jackets, parkas, shoes/sandals, gloves, balls, pads, belts, face guards, shirts, sweats and hoodies, small items (cleats, chin straps, helmet and pad repair parts), sideline heaters, mobile travelling equipment trunks, bins, totes, boxes of expendables, and most anything else you can think of are now stored neatly and appropriately within Spacesaver Storage Systems. |
Spacesaver Corporation also provided a few options for the custom end panels. With the school’s input, the graphic design was selected and ordered through Storage Systems Midwest. The panels were produced and installed by Jim Greely Signs, and the customer was extremely happy with the end result.
| There is also a small shelving unit installed next to a pass-through where players can have equipment repairs made. It has locking drawers with compartments for many small repair items, and a locking, receding door for their stereo receiver that pipes music throughout the building. |  |
The Warhawk Football storage solution has been such a success for the team that several other departments have selected Storage Systems Midwest to provide for their storage needs using Spacesaver products. Custom Spacesaver lockers have already been purchased for the newly renovated men and women’s National Championship Wheelchair Basketball team locker rooms!
Storage Solved.
