Susan,

I fully agree with Pam's note about floor loading.  I had considered writing you about that same issue.  When I mentioned 13 NASF for the open shelving I should have noted that you will need to also be able to accomodate the opening area for the doors you mentioned.  Thanks, Dick King - University of Arizona

Subject: Re: [RM] Standards for Filing Equipment

In response to Susan's request for filing equipment standards for a new facility, your architect should also be aware of floor load issues with filing cabinets.  I've noticed in the past that architects usually specify space for lateral cabinets instead of open shelf cabinets, which are much more space efficient. However, they weigh more than the lateral cabinets because they hold more... high density open shelf file equipment weighs a lot more and needs special consideration.
