Archive shelving, library systems, and high-density mobile storage — engineered by Aurora Storage, designed and installed by Conner Business Systems. One partner for the steel, the plan, and the records that go on the shelves.
Shelving is rarely a furniture purchase — it's an infrastructure decision. The wrong specification wastes square footage for a decade; the wrong installation creates safety and compliance headaches. We pair Aurora's manufacturing depth with the records-management expertise we've spent thirty-five years building.
We've been designing records environments since 1990. That means we know what goes on the shelves before we tell you which shelves to buy.
Aurora has been engineering institutional shelving for decades. We resell their full catalog and stand behind every system we specify.
Most institutions don't need every shelving product Aurora makes. They need the right one, specified correctly, installed once. We focus on three solutions that solve the storage problems we see most often.
Static, modular, document-safe. Aurora Quik-Lok™ 4-post shelving is the workhorse of archive rooms — assembles with minimal tools, scales as your retention grows, and uses a powder-coat finish with no VOCs that could damage paper records over time.
Aurora's MJ Library Shelving has been the standard for academic, public, and special-collection libraries for decades. Modular, ADA-aware, and compatible with end panels, signage, and display accessories. Wood-Tek™ pairs steel structure with real wood end panels where aesthetics matter as much as load capacity.
The single best ROI in physical records storage. Aurora Mobile compresses fixed aisles into one moving aisle, doubling effective capacity in the same square footage. Mechanical-assist for moderate use, electric-powered for high-traffic environments — both ride on a recessed or low-profile rail system we engineer to your floor.
We serve a range of institutions, but two sectors drive most of our work — and they shape how we specify, plan, and install. Each has its own constraints: load, ADA, compliance, aesthetics, and the politics of getting a budget approved.
Law firms, financial services, corporate compliance teams, and professional services firms storing matter files, deal documents, transaction records, and long-tail retention obligations. The records exist because they have to — they need to be accessible, defensible, and out of the way.
District media centers, school libraries, university stacks, and special collections. Shelving here lasts decades and is touched by thousands of students a year. ADA aisle widths, end-panel aesthetics, and signage all matter. Bond and capital budgets drive procurement cycles.
Shelving projects fail when someone sells you steel before they understand the room or the records. We invert that order.
On-site visit. We measure the room, photograph existing storage, and inventory what's actually on the shelves today.
We model two or three layout options in CAD, with capacity gain, dollar cost, and lead time for each. You see the trade-offs.
Aurora manufactures. Our local team handles rail installation, assembly, and the records move itself if you need it.
Annual rail inspection, drive-system maintenance, and we're here when you need to expand. Same St. Louis number for thirty-five years.

Most of our clients eventually digitize. The records that move off the shelf don't disappear — they shift formats. Engineered Shelving is one part of the Conner Business Systems family, designed to hand off cleanly to the digital sides of our practice as your records lifecycle evolves.
Our founding business. Records management, filing supplies, business technology, and the relationships that anchor everything we do.
