Poster Storage Cabinet helps Audubon in their Mission

Poster Storage Cabinet gets “Green” light at Audubon Center

 

 

 

At first the Poster storage cabinet at the Jamestown Audubon was a blueprint cabinet. Including blueprints of the 3-story nature center building, including a nature store, live fish, reptiles and amphibians, solar panels, elevator, and all the electric, HVAC, offices and conference rooms. In addition, there is documentation of the over 600 acres of wetlands. Together with 5 miles of trails, bird blinds, and outbuildings.

As a result, of this need the Audubon chose the Ulrich Minifile to store these blueprints. Because the Minifile provided plenty of storage space. While also providing fire and water protection. Also, the large file folders provide plenty of organization and document protection. Finally, this blueprint cabinet is on heavy duty casters and easily rolls anywhere in the facility. Allowing the staff to keep the cabinet in a closet out of the way until needed.

When word got out to the Naturalists – they had found their Poster Storage Cabinet!

It’s tough to keep a good thing secret. When the naturalists found out about the available storage for large documents in the Ulrich Minifile they knew that this could be the poster storage cabinet they have been looking for.

In detail, in the video below, Katie Finch, naturalist and education coordinator explains how this cabinet aids them in their mission:

Another point is that the Audubon can store a variety of document size in this cabinet.  In the video Katie can easily find the poster she needs among a variety of different sized posters and signs.

Green in Manufacturing and Green in use

During the year, the Audubon Center offers a wide variety of events for people of all ages. Moreover, each of these events requires signs for everything from event parking to signs for each of the activities:

Before we had no central location to store the signs. In addition poor storage conditions caused damage to the signs. In brief, we needed to remake the signs for each event.

“Of course, the Minifile provides a central location for storage. Not to mention the folders organize the signs by event. Consequently, it takes only seconds to retrieve completed signs for each event. While the cabinet keeps the signs and posters in as good or better shape than when stored.” Says Jeff Tome, Senior Naturalist,

The Minifile Poster storage cabinet is used at Jamestown Audubon for blueprint storage, poster storage, and filing signs.

“In addition, the cabinet is so small and mobile; we can keep it tucked away in a storage closet when not in use.

Because the Ulrich Minifile has been a great organizational tool, it allows us to focus more time on our mission to connect people to the environment.”

Of course, we recommend you visit the Audubon center in Jamestown or find one in your area.

They are great places to explore nature with your family and friends.

Poster and Bulletin Board Storage

GREAT CHOICE FOR POSTER AND BULLETIN BOARD STORAGE.

We will provide all students the opportunity to learn today so they may contribute to a better tomorrow  – Clymer Central School Motto

Poster and Bulletin Board storage in school library
Poster and Bulletin Board Storage

Mary Zimmer is the embodiment of this motto

Her picture shows her enthusiasm for her job as Library Media Specialist, and the energetic spirit she brings to it every day. Mary utilizes posters, bulletin boards, anchor charts and signs to provide a bright, organized and stimulating environment for her elementary and junior high learners. She uses these posters, bulletin boards and signs and changes them frequently to encourage her students to read books, research new concepts, and explore new ideas.

Poster and Bulletin Board storage in Ulrich Cadfile
Clymer School Library uses Cadfile for Bulletin Board Storage

Poster and Bulletin board storage became a problem for Mary. She wanted a way to protect the precious budget dollars she had invested in these items. A storage solution that would keep these items handy when she needed them and tucked neatly out of sight when she didn’t. – who wants to waste space on storage! But most of all Mary didn’t want to waste her valuable time searching for her poster, anchor charts and bulletin board items when they were needed.

She tried a traditional poster rack. However she felt that the whole experience had been a waste of both time and money. The poster rack did not protect her posters, anchor charts and bulletin board items. And the traditional rack took up a lot of space, was unattractive and worst it was difficult to organize these items and find them when needed.

ULRICH SOLVES BULLETIN BOARD STORAGE

Mary was very excited when she chose the Ulrich Cadfile as her poster and bulletin board storage solution. And it solved all of her concerns:

  • More time for Lesson Plans – Better Organization means time saved!
    • Organized – With 20 folders the cadfile provides organization unlike any cabinet on the market.
    • Time Saved – Easily find the item you need and easily refile.
  • Save Budget $$ – with Ulrich Cadfile your items are protected and like new for years. No need to re-buy due to damage.
  • Save floor space for your kids – at only 10 3/4″ deep this cabinet fits almost anywhere.
  • Easily update your room – casters make it easy to move the Cadfile. Whether you need a totally new space or just need to clean the carpet.
  • Store 1,000 documents or more – when storing 24″ x 36″ size there is space for 1,000 documents. If your posters are smaller you can store even more!

Jamestown Audubon

 audobon

Ulrich is the choice for storage of drawings, plans, posters and signs for the Jamestown Audubon Center and Sanctuary, in their important mission to connect people to the planet through educational experiences at the center and throughout the region.

Ulrich Planfiles

Above: Jeff Tome, Senior Naturalist at the Jamestown Audubon shows signs for the Audubon’s Enchanted Forest that takes place every Halloween. Children dress up and meet “animals” that live in the Forest. Volunteers dress as indigenous animals and teach children, in an entertaining way, about the animal’s role in the natural world. The signs for this wonderful event are kept safe and organized in an Ulrich Minifile.

Architectural & Engineering Drawings

The Audubon Center includes a 3-story nature center building contains a nature store, a small collection of live fish, reptiles and amphibians, and interactive displays. The building sits on a 600-acre wetland preserve which includes over five miles of beautifully maintained trails. All of the Architectural and Engineering Drawings are organized in an Ulrich Minifile. This was important when the Audubon recently performed a number of changes to update the centers lighting and conserve electrical energy, including the addition of Solar Panels. The ready accessibility of the Electrical Plans was important to this award winning project’s success.

Signs and Posters are stored in Minifile

Throughout the year the Audubon Center offers a wide variety of events for people of all ages. Each of these events requires signs for everything from event parking to signs for each of the activities:

“In the past we have had to reproduce our signs and posters each time we held an event. There was no central location to house the signs and no way to keep them from being damaged. We love our Ulrich Minifile Cabinet. We can organize our signs for each event in a folder. When it comes time for the event it takes seconds to retrieve last year’s signs and we are ready, and most important they are in the same or better condition than when we stored them last year.” Says Jeff Tome, Senior Naturalist.

Archival Map Storage at Longwood Gardens

Longwood Gardens, located about 3 miles from Kennett Square near Philadelphia, is one of the world’s premier horticultural showplaces and maintains an extensive collection of documents and many other types of media in an onsite vault. An archival map storage solution was necessary to protect this historical collection.

Archival Map and Plan Filing on mobile shelving system for horticulturist. Fire Resistant Map and Plan filing. Better than flat file cabinets! only 31 inches deep, these vertical flat files leave more space on mobile shelving systems for other important documents.

A movable isle, high density storage system is used to maximize the available space within the vault. Used in this application, Ulrich Planfile’s archival map storage cabinets provide ease of operation and saves valuable vault space. With their convenient filing height and because they do not require space to open drawers, Ulrich files are perfect for use on mobile shelving systems.

Ulrich Planfiles are an excellent choice for archival plan and map storage.

The storage vault at Longwood Gardens is fire resistant and the Ulrich cabinets maintain documents in great condition. In this application, Longwood Gardens chose our archival map and plan file folders to further protect the large documents. Manufactured using special PH neutral material, Ulrich archival plan, map and poster folders are design for long term storage of valuable documents. Ulrich Planfiles also feature powder coated finishes that have no out-gassing, another important consideration for archival storage.

  • Space saving design works great on mobile shelving systems.
  • No drawers to open that would require extra aisle space.
  • Plan files are easy to use with all filing done at a convenient height.
  • Ulrich compression system provides excellent large document storage protection.
  • PH neutral folders are great for long-term, archival map storage, plan storage and poster storage.
