Clinical Lab Design
Designing a clinical lab requires a flexible, open layout that allows the lab to grow and adapt to the rapidly changing trends and the increased importance of laboratory testing in the healthcare industry. Such labs play an integral role in the diagnostic and clinical decision-making process as the complexity and volume of lab tests increases. One of the most important functions of a clinical lab is processing specimens accurately, quickly, and safely. At Lab Furniture and Fume Hoods, we design open and flexible clinical labs that optimize the efficiency and flow of both staff and specimens while facilitating a safe, collaborative, and healthy work environment.
We understand that an open layout with modular furniture and movable casework is imperative to successfully and effectively designing a clinical lab. This flexibility allows the lab to be adaptable and scalable to the ever‑changing developments in science, medicine, technology, and instrumentation. Also, the lab must accommodate lean methodologies to continuously enhance time-sensitive specimen processing and support increases in test volumes. Whether you are designing a new lab or remodeling an existing one, Lab Furniture and Fume Hoods can help you design and furnish a flexible, safe, smart, and sustainable lab that meets your needs today and into the future.
The following are some of our basic objectives for clinical lab design:
- Support lean processes such as continuous specimen flow
- Flexible design that supports current and future needs and technologies
- Provide sufficient circulation space to optimize accessibility and safety
- Prevent contamination of specimens
- Modular or flexible casework and furnishing to allow labs to scale up or down
- Protect the safety and health of scientists, doctors, clinicians, and staff
- A layout that enhances collaboration and interaction
- Encourage safe practices and a healthy work environment
Key Considerations for Clinical Lab Design
A clinical lab must efficiently and effectively streamline specimen processing while maintaining the flexibility to expand and accommodate workflow and functionality changes over time.
The following are the key considerations for clinical lab design:
- Flexible and agile design that supports changes in science, medicine, processes, and technology
- Integrate safe protocols and lab systems for clinical testing and research that provide a high-level of safety and security for lab personnel
- Optimize quality specimen processing to handle the increase in complexity and volume of lab testing
