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…

Subject: Asbestos flooring and fume hood liners used in school laboratories built in the 1950s & 1960s.
Nat Longo narrates regarding where asbestos can be found in a school laboratory constructed prior to 1980. Laboratory safety upgrades are central to Longo’s laboratory planning philosophy. We design and build science laboratory spaces that are both educationally correct and adhere to strict safety codes regarding air flow regulation and removal of pollutants, chemical storage requirements, and safety within in the lab.
Longo provided both laboratory planning and construction services for this project. Science lab was gutted and new student lab tables and perimeter casework and resin counter tops were installed.
Location: Bogota, NJ (Bergen County)
Scope of work: New science lab tables, wood laboratory casework, resin counter tops
Location: Bardonia, New York (Rockland County)
Scope of work to be performed:
Longo is to be providing complete turnkey services for a science lab renovation at Albertus Magnus. Longo has already submitted permits to the town and is beginning “disconnects” of the electrical, plumbing and mechanicals. This precedes demolition work, which will be documented in the next 2 weeks.
In the video below is a short narration by Nat Longo at Albertus Magnus.

Nat Longo has been designing and building laboratory spaces for over 25 years in both the private school and commercial sectors. Below is some information extracted from a lab meeting Nat has recently had with a private school administrator considering laboratory space updates/renovations for Summer 2011. The school’s current science labs were built in 1965.
In an effort to improve high school science education standards & scores, it is important to have the proper learing environments and training facilities available – all of this requires planning ahead to create educationally-correct teaching spaces for the sciences.
In some instances, changes needed to better support academic programs may just require the purchasing of new equipment, replacing outdated furniture. However, most changes will require a more in-depth review of the facility and dictate that construction/renovation services are necessary.
In anticipation of renovating a laboratory space or building a new science wing, guidelines must be agreed upon (and followed) to ensure that the end product will deliver satisfactory results. There is rarely a second chance to correct mistakes. The time spent in the planning process is an excellent investment for any lab renovation project, regardless of size.
Getting started, it is recommended that a planning committee be formed representing both teachers and administrators. This is necessary to define project assumptions – and they should reflect the mission statement of the school, the vision for the future of the school and the goals of the science department.
There are important questions that must be answered before a lab space can be designed.

Headmasters and Presidents of private schools looking to build new science lab facilities (or renovate current lab space) during the summer of 2011 should be aware that the upfront work is required to be done NOW – why is that? There should be plenty of time as school ends in 2010 to get our project off the ground and running. Please see below what must be taken into account when considering laboratory renovations.
After reviewing just a few of the factors above, you start to see a picture regarding all that must taken into account to get a laboratory construction project moving in the right direction. So do you really want to leave the lab planning and construction up to just any firm? Make the intelligent choice! At Longo, our consultants work direct with private school administrators and building committees to create construction schedules that are accurate and necessary to complete the job on-time and within budget.
Architects, interior designers, and school officials looking for assistance designing their laboratory spaces, and then purchasing the lab furniture specified for their projects should email (info@longoinc.com) for a free consultation.

Importance of post: All 2010 Longo science lab projects utilizing Sheldon’s Axis Student Lab Stations will be converted to the new Axis Infinity Model – this change will not result in additional costs, increased lead times or any other issues that might have occurred if not for the swift project manangment by the combined efforts of Longo and Sheldon’s design & engineering team.
A Look Back On Why The Axis3 was so important…
Sheldon’s groundbreaking Axis 3® design combined separate lab and lecture areas into a single, dynamic learning center, making maximum use of space and streamlining the laboratory/classroom experience.
The patented Axis 3 was the first lab station designed to accommodate the latest in computer technology. The table was available in a variety of models that allow for the integration of standard desktop computers, flat-screen monitors or individual laptops.
The tabletop’s unique shape allowed four students to work in pairs facing the instructor or individually around the perimeter of the table, with access to the sink and services. The tabletop quickly and smoothly adjusts from a sitting to a standing height. Contoured edges eliminated the sharp corners found on traditional lab tables, allowing students and teachers easy movement around the table.
