The Queensland Museum maintains a wet collection of over 130000 biological specimens, predominantly stored in ethanol.
What the Queensland Museum told us they wanted.
Queensland Museum asked us to work with architect Premis to design and install a home for the collection at a modern, purpose-built 2-story facility at Hendra.
How we acted on what we heard.
We worked with Premis to deliver an inspired storage solution. A key component of the build was a $1.1m specialised compactus storage system, sourced from Austria. Arguably the best in the world it features a frictionless rolling system. We also installed four heavy duty mobile compactus from Forster and developed a longspan solution with stainless pullout drawers.
Inspired Results
The completed facility at Hedra now houses the growing collection and provides bespoke laboratory facilities and office accommodation for Queensland Museum Network scientists and visiting researchers.
