The final benefit of the Bee Hive has been the additional storage that has been provided. The shelving spaces are used for the storage of reading and writing materials, and often for materials that are used periodically – these are kept on the upper shelf units. In most schools, the storage of materials etc takes up a great deal of space, but the design of the Bee Hives, enable the merge of work space, leisure space and storage space all within the same innovative fixture.
