At R.C. Smith, we have over 50 years’ worth of experience and our modular pharmacy casework systems have been proven through more than 7,500 installations in healthcare facilities. You can count on our team to assist you in creating the most functional space design, select the most appropriate modular casework components and ultimately install the casework in a way that best suits the needs of your pharmacy.
Our modular products are engineered to best support the unique requirements of your pharmacy environment, now and in the future. Easily adaptable to changing requirements frequently found in healthcare, our modular approach is not only sustainable, but also long-lasting and financially efficient.
R.C. Smith’s modular pharmacy casework systems are built with durability, strength, and load capacity in mind. We incorporate innovative features that are well suited to the pharmacy environment which you work in.

Note that no casework is attached to walls, floors or ceilings, leaving the department very flexible to make alterations to the design as future needs change. Additionally, internal components are modular in design and can be switched out between modules of the same size.
Advantages found in the R.C. Smith Modular Pharmacy Casework System
If you’re looking for high-quality and truly functional pharmacy casework solutions, R.C. Smith can deliver. Our modular cabinet system can provide your pharmacy department with several recognizable advantages that will prove themselves from the very beginning and over time.
Adaptable to Change Sometimes, the only constant can be change. The R.C. Smith system is based on a reconfigurable modular design that provides flexibility. Because the design of our system remains adaptable to change, it doesn’t hold you hostage in an outdated design like traditional fixed casework does. Modular casework can support your pharmacies needs through expansion, reconfiguration, departmental relocation, process improvement, or regulatory changes.

Smith Modular Freestanding Casework creates walls with the integrated post and back-panel system that also supports above counter components like shelving. Above counter shelving is adjustable in height and between level and gravity feed positions.
Lower Cost of Ownership: R.C. Smith’s freestanding modular casework makes good financial sense because the useful life of our system is dramatically longer than traditional fixed casework. In addition, many architectural walls (which are expensive to build) may not need to be built since our freestanding system does not need walls for support and the system can create the walls for you in lieu of contractor built walls.
Modularity Supports Lean Initiatives: For a facility to implement Lean initiatives, it needs a modular casework system that supports ongoing process improvement. Our system’s ability to reconfigure, relocate, adjust and remain easily adaptable over time makes it ideal for use in Lean settings.
Environmentally Friendly: Reusing materials is the best form of sustainability. Our modular casework is highly reusable and can be reconfigured many times over as needs change, keeping product replacement and landfill waste to a minimum. With fixed casework, reconfiguration of a work area means the casework must be replaced; the original product is discarded and becomes landfill waste.
LEED Credits for Healthcare: Certain LEED credits are available with our system, contact us for more information.
Engineered with a “Form Meets Function” Philosophy: The R.C. Smith system has been developed with a “form-meets-function” design philosophy that has evolved over the years and through 7,500 installations. After soliciting input from and carefully listening to literally thousands of pharmacy professionals and design experts, we have developed creative need specific solutions to help each work area function more effectively. Specific requirements unique to your process can be easily accommodated through our design development process.

Tax Savings Through Accelerated Depreciation: R.C. Smith’s modular freestanding system can be depreciated as furniture. This gives you the option to realize significant tax advantages by depreciating the product over seven years instead of 39. Ask your tax accountant for more details.
