Keith Valley Middle School
SchraderGroup Architecture
Keith Valley Middle School, located in the Hatboro-Horsham School District, sought a flexible library solution that would allow the singular space to serve multiple purposes beyond traditional library usage. While staying within a limited budget, Diversified Storage Solutions worked closely with Schrader Group Architecture to specify library shelving that could maximize functionality in an existing environment with brand new purpose.
DSS provided a custom solution using Spacesaver cantilever storage carts with laminate tops and end panels, featuring concealed casters for a clean, streamlined appearance. To reduce costs and improve efficiency, this unique approach also included the carts built off-site and delivered fully assembled, all while integrating colors from the FFE package to ensure cohesive aesthetics. The project was carefully coordinated with the general contractor, eliminating the need for specialized millwork and streamlining installation, right on-site.
The results exceeded expectations. The off-site fabrication process allowed DSS to deliver the project more efficiently, while the mobile carts created a multi-use library space that can be easily reconfigured for different activities. The solution provided an effective, lower-cost alternative to traditional built-in shelving, meeting all storage requirements and enhancing overall usability. This project highlights DSS’s ability to design innovative, flexible storage solutions that balance budget, aesthetics, and functionality in learning spaces, libraries, and beyond.
