Albertus Magnus High School Lab Preparation: Painting & Flooring Work

August 18th, 2010

Video taken of recent school laboratory renovation at Albertus Magnus High School in New York.  The laboratory construction project here is similar in scope to Longo’s completed turnkey science lab projects at Iona Prep School (New Rochelle, NY), Academy of Holy Angels (Demarest, NJ), Eastern Christian High School (Haledon, NJ) and Union Catholic High School (Scotch Plains, NJ).

Be aware that planning a successuful laboratory construction project hinges on many factors.  One factor is choosing the right lab consultant that has both the experience and resources to pull your project together from planning and conception stages to the selection & installation of laboratory furniture and equipment. 

One way Longo’s laboratory consultants assist clients is with our experience regarding the time frames required for a laboratory construction to be completed before school opening in the Fall, or to renovate during the Winter break and be ready for when students arrive back…

Asbestos Wrapping Of Plumbing Pipes Common

July 28th, 2010

Nat Longo comments on an upcoming science lab renovation that is to be started where he happens to find asbestos wrapping of plumbing pipes after checking underneath the flooring…very common in labs built in the 1950s through the 1960s.  So, while on this project the crawlspace provides Nat with an opportunity to avoid having to saw-cut through concrete, he will have to be dealing with the abatement of asbestos.
