The pages that follow provide an overview of this process. We are looking to help build your information base and to make your interaction with our team more productive.

Understand the space being considered

01

Survey the area being considered for the laboratory. Think of the overall amount of space that will be required for the people, process and equipment that will occupy the lab. Be careful to ensure that all the necessary utility services and sanitary or chemical drains will be available. If you'll need a fume hood, make sure you review an exit route for ducting. Always consider the future needs of your facility.
