Planning Guidelines
Start your planning journey with these simple steps:
-
Identify fume hood and sink locations: Proximity to existing plumbing will impact costs.
-
Define room dimensions: Are you remodeling or building new? Will walls or doors be added or removed?
-
Note service access: Consider gas, water and electrical line locations as they influence layout and cost.
-
Determine workspace zones: Define usage areas: Open Bench, Equipment Bays, HPLC/GC stations, etc.
-
Plan by furniture type:
• Modular Casework – Traditional, fixed lab cabinetry
• Mobile Carts – Ideal for flexible instrumentation zones
• Work Tables – For maximized counter space where storage isn’t needed
• Knee Space – ‘Desk-like’ working areas -
Mark storage preferences: Highlight where you’ll need wall-mounted shelves, upper cabinetry or overhead storage.
