Using end panel graphics, Lower Merion High School added school spirit to their sports equipment storage.

What used to be a small equipment room adjacent to Lower Merion High School’s gymnasium has now become the hub of school storage and school spirit. The Lower Merion Athletic Department recently partnered with Datum to install the MobileTrak3® System in their team equipment room, creating a stream-lined and organized space to keep their extracurricular sports equipment and uniforms.

One obstacle was finding storage spaces for equipment shaped as diversely as the sports they’re used for, but Datum had just the solution. They installed 4Post™ Shelving which can accommodate items of all shapes and sizes, from hanging and folded uniforms to helmets and balls. But the aspect of the system’s design with the largest impact was the end panel graphics that feature the school emblem and mascot, Ace the Bulldog. The new system enhances Lower Merion’s team storage and team spirit.

“The MobileTrak3® System that Datum provided for us was not only the perfect storage solution for our team equipment, it also embodied our school spirit with the custom colors and end panel graphics,” said Don Walsh, Lower Merion High School Athletic Director.

Here are some fun facts about Lower Merion’s storage system:

• Before working with Datum, Lower Merion High School stored their sports equipment in wood racks, bulk shelving and bins.
• The new system allows for uniforms to be folded or hung, keeping jersey numbers from sticking together and increasing their longevity.
• Each aisle is designed to store a specific sport’s equipment.
• Unlike similar storage solutions, Datum’s system uses a non grout track which allows for easy expansion or relocation of the shelving without having to break up flooring or pour concrete to install rails.

Lower Merion High School now has a functional and durable storage system with the ability to grow and change as their sports teams do. You can learn more about MobileTrak3® System on our site: www.datumfiling.com.
