In addition to using SketchUp in  exhibition work , I have also used this program to map out storage and rehousing plans for museum collections. In one project I used SketchUp to model a drawer rehousing project and new cabinetry layout for an invertebrate fossil collection. The goal here was really to maximize space efficiency and test out different scenarios to use up as few drawers as possible.

​

In another project I used SketchUp to model two different scenarios for a future remodel of the collections storage of the CU Heritage Center. Based on floorplans provided by the client, desired outcomes, and measurements of existing furniture, I was able to manipulate the components in SketchUp to devise the most efficient use of space and propose multiple options to the client.
