ORDER TODAY. Most school administrators do not realize that laboratory furniture has a long lead time. Meaning that after receipt of purchase order it usually is 8 weeks before furniture is delivered. And that does not take into account that lab furniture, unless selecting out of catalog, can only be ordered after approved shop drawings and/or equipment lists. Or the fact that your project may require architectural drawings and engineering plans for submission to municipal contacts for approval.
