This locker will be used for storing student artwork and needs to be secure and have ventilation. Does anyone know of such a beast? J.

They are also ventilated. Look at DeBourgh David Axt, AIA, CCS, CSI Senior Member Username: david_axt Post Number: 1046 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 05, 2009 - 04:49 pm:    Lynn, Don't you mean "Wenger"?

And I should have written Wenger...but I didn't...sorry. Somehow, though, you figured it out. Kudos!

They actually talk about art room casework on their website. www.casesystems.com John Bunzick, CCS, CCCA, LEED AP Senior Member Username: bunzick Post Number: 1048 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 06, 2009 - 08:37 am:    Isn't this just a manufactured casework item? (Or custom.) We've done all sorts of minor variations of manufactured casework for this type of purpose.

Cabinet #459 in the Woodwork Institute Design Series is a cabinet for storing/drying ceramics. A base cabinet or hutch could be modified with vertical divisions on 3 inch centers if you want to store drawings or paintings standing up. Doors with ventilation would be good.
