Smaller budget this year? You’re not alone. Schools across the nation are struggling as the belt just keeps tightening, but with the population of your school on the increase, finding lockers for everyone is a lot harder than it used to be. These tips can help.

1. Think Small: Sure, you’d love for every single student in your building to have a full locker, but if you have a range of ages, younger students may not need lockers that are quite as large. If you assign older students your full size lockers and give your younger population double or even triple tier lockers, you get the space you need without the added cost of full size lockers for everyone. If you’ve recently moved to fully electronic textbooks, too, you can certainly assign students smaller lockers with ease, as the need to store personal belongings may be the only one they have while they’re on campus.
2. Think Outside the Box: Lockers aren’t all what they used to be. With new materials choices debuting all of the time, you may find that the traditional metal locker your building is so used to is no longer a necessity. Searching for the best option to meet your needs in terms of durability and cost at the same time may help you decide on a different material choice entirely.
3. Think Simple: All of those little add-ons can really amp up the price of your lockers. Coat hooks, shelves, even built in locks may mean you’re paying more than you should, so make sure you don’t accessorize (much).
