Purchasing decisions left up to general contractors do not benefit the architects that design the lab spaces…the school officials who are expecting their lab spaces to look a particular way…Look, really look at the pictures above. This is what one general contractor submitted as an equal on a high school laboratory designed by an architect with Longo’s assistance. It was specified with Sheldon Axis Lab Station and Focal Point Teacher’s Demonstration Desk in mind.
(Here is the web location if you want to see what a real Sheldon Axis Table should look like: Sheldon Axis Table Information Link: http://www.longolabs.com/sheldon-difference/ws/2001/)
You may be asking how is that possible? This table has no business to be compared (not to mention submitted in lieu of) to a Sheldon Axis Table. Why you may ask – well, let’s take a look at some features these tables do not include that Sheldon does on their student lab tables:
- No epoxy resin sink at lab station
- No “Unicast” combination water/gas fixture
- No “marine” or raised edge on the counter top to contain chemical spills
- No height-adjustable laboratory counter top
- No metal base structure for stability
- No electrical support for computers
- No data support for computers
There are more technical differences. My point is that these tables do not measure up against Sheldon’s Axis Table.
