How an old brick masonry warehouse became a lab for testing sustainability systems and methods

Better sample management depends upon smarter automated systems

Cost-conscious owners want facilities to meet their visions and business objectives while also including flexibility, efficiency, safety, and robust utility/engineering systems.

For laboratories with a fixed number of samples and testing capabilities, a traditional setup may be ideal

Greater flexibility increases experimental scope and capabilities

When the University of Colorado decided to renovate Ekeley Sciences Building, the school looked for a floor covering that would meet a variety of performance requirements—durability, stain resistance, comfort and ease of maintenance.

No matter the type of lab–be it clinical, food, forensic, or analytical–every lab requires furnishings. From flooring to seating, our guide can help.

If everything in a lab gets attached to walls or the floor, evolving lab requirements and processes require ramshackle solutions. But what if things could move around? That’s what flexible casework allows.

Forgotten smallpox samples found in July leads to search of other government labs, finding more samples of other deadly pathogens.

More than just surfaces and storage, today’s laboratory casework makes a statement. For one thing, the right casework makes a lab operate more efficiently—putting the right drawers or shelves in the most at-hand places. In addition, casework can even keep track of pieces and parts in a lab. Plus, today’s options in cases—from materials to colors—give scientists an opportunity to create a lab with pizzazz.

Wichita State University's National Institute for Aviation Research recently opened a new Ballistics and Impact Dynamics Research Lab in the former Britt Brown Arena at the Kansas Coliseum.
