Laboratory Design and Fit Out

You don’t need to worry about adhering to British Standard laboratory guidelines and health and safety compliance. We ensure all bases are covered, and every box is ticked throughout every project stage.

Our team is knowledgeable and experienced in all local guidelines in the UK and across mainland Europe, closely following, and adhering to all regulations when designing and delivering your laboratory space. Find out more by visiting our dedicated Laboratory Design website.

A well-designed laboratory should consider all the varied aspects of daily operations in a way that promotes workflow through ergonomics. The laboratory should be large and spacious enough to accommodate the total capacity of users in a way that doesn't impede focus, productivity, efficiency, and safety.

We have produced laboratory solutions for spaces at biosafety level (BSL) 1 and 2, including Becton Dickinson. We built a space divided into nine separate areas functioning as a phlebotomy laboratory facility, a decontamination room, and technical services facilities, all isolated to eliminate the cross-contamination of air and fluids.

Laboratory layouts differ quite a lot to accommodate the needs of their organisations. Here are three main layout types:

• Fixed bench layout: a standardised lab design, usually applied in schools, with benches fixed to the floor, usually arranged so that all users face the same direction.
• Flexible layout: a number of pedestals or islands are fixed to the floor that supply necessary drainage, electricity, and gas. Furniture can be positioned around these points and moved at will.
• Bespoke layout: a layout designed entirely for the purpose of your organisation, incorporating fully customised elements and functionality.
