The accessible College and Crown Apartment Bike Storage is one of the most useful and unique facilities found in the College and Crown apartments building complex. The storage room ensures safe, easy and secure bike parking for all residents. The bike storage room is located in a safe and designated area, quite far from the narrow hallways and stairs.
The area where the College and Crown Apartment complex is constructed is surrounded by stimulating places and landmarks that will surely excite your senses. Just walking distance from your apartment are the art and culture centers, the Yale Center for British Art, the Yale University Art Gallery and the Yale Repertory Center all found on Chapel Street near the corner of York Street.
Some residents like teachers and students prefer to use bicycles either to avoid traffic jams in the city, or to maintain a healthy lifestyle or simply to enjoy bike riding. Because of this need, College and Crown apartments have set up an accessible College and Crown Apartment Bike Storage.
The storage room also acts as a bike parking area. Located near a wide space ground floor garage, the accessible College and Crown Apartment Bike Storage utilizes two modes of storage to accommodate different sizes and styles of bicycles.
One is by horizontal parking and the other is by vertical parking or storage. The two modes can also save parking space. Horizontal parking is done by attaching the bike to an inverted U metal tube fastened to the floor of the storage room. Vertical parking is done by installing bike lockers on the wall of the accessible College and Crown Apartment Bike Storage where the fore wheel of the bicycle is fastened upwards to a metal brace.
For the horizontal parking, each bike aisle has a width of about 54 inches enough for one person to walk-in a bicycle and fasten the bike to the vertical U-shaped metal tube. For vertical parking and storage, wall racks have been installed to safely secure the bikes. The bicycle wall rack stands lock in and secure both the wheel and the frame of the bicycle. This system can store more numbers of bicycles within an aisle width of about 12 inches.
The accessible College and Crown Apartment Bike Storage protects the bicycles of residents from extreme heat, and from rain or snow. Even if it is found in an indoor enclosure, residents can have easy access using an effective signage. A College and Crown apartment staff is available to assist residents.
The accessible College and Crown Apartment Bike Storage has optimized aisle spacing to accommodate the lifting of bikes and to allow simultaneous users to access their respective bicycles.
