Industry overview
Laboratories are unique, highly technical spaces where every layout decision affects how safely and efficiently the space runs. The type of laboratory - from microbiology and chemistry through to cleanrooms and life sciences - shapes how the space should be planned.
Specialist requirements can include cleanable and fire-rated walls, ceilings and floors, local extract ventilation and fume hoods, laboratory gases, environment monitoring, and fitted or mobile benching. Compliance, containment level and future flexibility for changing research needs are also important considerations.
