Sponsored by B+N Industries
With the fluid nature of almost all industries today, partly due to societal disruptions caused by the pandemic, it’s more important than ever for businesses to be able to pivot their models and easily accommodate future changes. Flexible design is imperative for adaptable commercial interiors, as is being able to divide space for different uses down the line. This course will discuss how modular shelving and storage systems can help meet these important objectives. We will explore the components and design options for flexible shelving and storage systems and how they can help future-proof offices, retail stores, and hospitality facilities.
