Lab Storage Kaikaku - Chase Boone
January 2020 - January 2021
Before: This is what the lab storage looked like in January 2020. There was a rack, column, and row coordinate system with some labeling on shelves and some bins. Most items were shared between all labs and nothing was stored in a particular area for any reason, and many items were put back in multiple places so it was hard to find the full number of items. Many pieces were very out-of-date and in disrepair.
After: From August 2020 to January 2021, Chase Boone portioned lab equipment into kits (where possible) for each lab experiment of each lab. Replacements for worn out equipment and extra quantities of common items were purchased to allow lab room specific storage areas. Labels and GPS (colored) tape and stickers were used to designate equipment, kits, and storage areas and the lab rooms themselves.
