University laboratories are used by multiple users across different disciplines. Without structured storage systems, shared use leads to disorganisation, inconsistent layouts, and reduced efficiency across teams. We frequently see shared labs struggle with ownership and consistency - where no clear system leads to inefficiencies across the board.
Laboratory environments must adapt to new research projects, updated equipment, and evolving teaching formats. Fixed storage systems limit the ability to adjust layouts without disruption or refurbishment. As research evolves, storage needs to keep up - not hold it back.
It starts with the space. Whether you engage one of our qualified storage consultants or plan independently, our intuitive 3D planning software makes the process seamless. From a single room to an entire facility, we make it easy to maximise your space, aligned to your workflow and storage requirements.

Laboratory space is high-value and must support both storage and active use. Inefficient storage systems reduce usable workspace and limit the ability to scale operations within existing facilities. Maximising space without compromising usability is one of the biggest challenges we help institutions solve.
Versatile Spaces® storage systems are used across a range of university and research environments, including:
We work across these environments to create storage systems that support both immediate use and long-term adaptability.
Versatile Spaces® systems maximise storage capacity within existing laboratory footprints. High-density configurations support increased volumes of equipment, materials, and shared resources without expanding space.
We design systems that unlock capacity within the space you already have.
Modular systems allow storage layouts to be adjusted between teaching and research use. Systems can be reconfigured as requirements change, without structural modifications to the facility.
This flexibility is critical in environments where no two semesters or research projects look the same.
Standardised storage systems improve organisation across departments and users. Consistent layouts support efficient workflows, reduce retrieval time, and maintain order in shared laboratory spaces.
By introducing structure, we help teams operate more efficiently, even in high-traffic, shared environments.
