This approximately 3,000 square foot space offers a secure indoor environment for organizations requiring archival storage and small businesses/individuals in need of off-site storage. Located within the well-maintained Ashton Building, the space provides a large open area ideal for storing equipment, inventory, files, supplies, or other non-perishable items. The space features low ceiling heights, making it best suited for storage use only rather than active workspace. Access is provided by stairway entry with limited elevator availability.
