This public school system’s design team decided their basis of design for the high school science labs would be Sheldon Laboratory Systems – and those science labs were to include the Sheldon Axis Infinity Lab Station.  The general contractor decided to substitute another manufacturer’s product in lieu of Sheldon’s Axis Infinity Table.  And, unfortunately, their subsitution was not rejected.

In this video, Nat Longo gives a description of the Sheldon Axis Infinity lab table and it’s unique characteristics.  After viewing the video, take a look at the photos below.  Do you think this table submitted by the general contractor is indeed an “equal” to Sheldon’s Axis Infinity table?  Interested to hear what you have to say about the matter – It is my intent and hope that architects and interior designers will comment on this matter.

Now for the pictures of the lab table that was substituted for the Axis Infinity Table:

Coming soon will be a blog post with a point-by-point construction comparison.  Architects with an interest to request a conference call with Longo’s laboratory consultants should email info@longoinc.com with the subject line “Sheldon Axis Infinity Differences” with phone number and you shall be contacted.

Please direct all inquiries with regards to laboratory planning, furniture and construction projects to the marketing department at Longo (info@longoinc.com).  To request a consultant & laboratory space evaluation, email Anthony Stellatos (anthonys@longoinc.com).
