Storage Solutions for Educational Facilities Engineered by Montel. Trusted by institutions worldwide.
100 Years of Innovation Founded in 1924, Montel has spent a century engineering innovative storage solutions that help organizations make better use of space. For over 100 years, we have combined engineering expertise, thoughtful design, and long-term performance to create storage systems that maximize capacity, improve organization, and adapt to changing needs. Today, that same expertise supports schools, colleges, universities, libraries, and research institutions with solutions designed for the many environments that make up a modern campus—from learning spaces and collections to athletics, research, and operations.
A century of innovation. Making more room for learning.
2
Make More Room for Learning. Education is evolving—and the spaces that support it need to evolve with it. Libraries are becoming collaborative learning environments. Research collections continue to grow. Makerspaces, technology, athletics, and student services compete for valuable square footage, while institutions are challenged to do more within existing facilities. Montel designs high-density and configurable storage solutions that help schools, colleges, and universities maximize capacity, improve organization, and reclaim valuable space for the people, programs, and experiences that bring education to life. Because when storage takes up less space, learning has more room to grow.
3
One Campus. Countless Storage Needs. A modern campus is a collection of very different environments—each with its own space, storage, access, and organizational challenges. From libraries and research collections to makerspaces, athletics, student spaces, and campus operations, Montel designs solutions around what needs to be stored, how it needs to be accessed, and how the space needs to perform.
One campus. One partner for smarter use of space.

Every campus has unique space and storage challenges.
Explore the following projects to see how Montel solutions maximize capacity, improve access, and create more room for learning, research, and growth. 29
University of Arkansas
Taking Collection Storage to New Heights With three out of every four books in its collection housed in a library annex, the University of Arkansas needed more than additional storage capacity. The university needed an off-site solution that could protect its growing collection, make efficient use of the facility, and keep materials readily accessible to library staff. Montel HI-BAY shelving allowed the university to take advantage of vertical space while supporting up to 800 lb per shelf. Adjustable shelving gives staff the flexibility to reconfigure the system as collection needs evolve, while a wall-length fixed art rack provides dedicated storage for artwork and framed photography. The result is a high-capacity off-site repository that helps the university preserve access to its collection today while providing room to grow for tomorrow. 30

THOUSANDS of art books
SPECIAL COLLECTIONS Protected & accessible
Montel developed a multifaceted system tailored to different parts of the collection. SafeAisle powered mobile shelving and Aetnastak cantilever shelving provide efficient, adaptable storage for circulating materials, while mechanical-assist mobile storage, SmartShelf shelving, and art racks support special collections and artwork requiring greater protection. The result is a more space-efficient library with room for seating and amenities, complemented by shelving designed to fit its vibrant aesthetic.

Centennial College
Storage Designed Around a New Academic Library As Centennial College’s student population and library collection grew, limited space at Progress Campus was putting pressure on valuable study areas. A new Library and Academic Facility created the opportunity to rethink storage for learning, collaboration, and future growth. Montel developed an integrated approach combining high-density mobile storage with adaptable library shelving. Compact mobile systems maximize capacity for archives and special collections, while configurable shelving accommodates circulating materials and provides flexibility as collection needs evolve. Beyond capacity, the storage was designed as part of the architecture itself. Custom acoustic end panels and coordinated finishes help the shelving integrate naturally with collaborative spaces, balancing storage efficiency, flexibility, and design.

Concordia University — Loyola Campus Creating Room for a Growing Collection
With access to more than 3 million print and electronic books and extensive multimedia collections, Concordia University Libraries support a large and diverse academic community. As Vanier Library planned for continued growth over the next 10 to 15 years, making better use of existing space became a key priority. Montel proposed a SafeAisle powered mobile shelving system to increase capacity within the existing library footprint. Because the system operates in a public environment, safety, ease of use, performance, and durability were central to the solution. With Aisle LED Guard technology providing full-aisle detection, the system combines high-density storage with safe, convenient access—giving Vanier Library the capacity and flexibility to support continued growth. ®
