storage facilities
Where things wait
Storage facilities are buildings or spaces where people or businesses keep belongings, inventory, or materials.
The term usually refers to commercial self-storage units—rented spaces ranging from small lockers to garage-sized rooms: We put most of our furniture in a storage facility during the renovation.
Industrial storage facilities house bulk goods, equipment, or hazardous materials.
