Higher education is full of harsh lessons, and not all are elementary as they seem. Aside from the complexities of delivering world-class education to a diverse student population during an ongoing pandemic, college campuses face countless logistical challenges daily. College campuses are like cities within themselves. There are a thousand moving parts from dozens of intersecting departments that strive to meet the constantly evolving needs of students and faculty. And like with any city, it’s citizens – or students – come in contact with hazardous materials that must be properly stored when not in use. Fortunately, our chemical storage lockers can accommodate any city with fire-rated protection.
Pause for a second and consider the true diversity of college academics. Universities are a cornucopia of unique learning experiences. And they’re all located in proximity of another. While chemistry and pre-med students measure and observe chemical reactions with beakers and burners, art students are perfecting their latest creations with flammable paints and compressed welding gases. Just a short walk across campus and you might find industrial technology students using powerful degreasers and dangerous fuel oil during an engine rebuild. So, what do these interdisciplinary studies have in common? Besides requiring a wide breadth of knowledge and skills, these brilliant endeavors all use hazardous materials. While used separately and correctly, many of these substances are relatively harmless. But if stored together or close to possible accelerants, a catastrophic hazardous material incident can easily ensue.
