Planning Science Facilities for Education: Lab Casework, Counter Tops and Fume Hoods

Monday, April 18th, 2011

Sheldon Wood Laboratory Casework Construction Details

Monday, April 4th, 2011

Architects often call Longo after specifying Sheldon’s wood laboratory casework and ask for a detailed, point-by-point comparison between the cabinet they selected and those contractors wishing to substitute another cabinet.  Sheldon is the only company in the industry that provides a full top and bottom frame on all their cabinets – base, tall and wall.  From a quality standpoint (not to mention installation concerns) this almost certainly eliminates or reduce the chance of damage that might occur as the frame is strengthened significantly by the overall construction of the cabinet.

Unknown to many, cabinets are typically shipped long distances in trucks and then unloaded off the trucks to be brought into schools.  Not to mention the fact that once the cabinets enter the school that they are not moved frequently once within the school. All this handling tends to have an adverse effect on cabinetry.

Please direct all inquiries with regards to specifying laboratory cabinetry, counter top selection, and fume hood design to  the marketing department at Longo (info@longoinc.com).  To request a consultant & laboratory space evaluation, email Nat Longo (nlongo@longoinc.com).  Nat Longo has been building school science labs and commercial laboratories for over 25 years.  Project lists are available from Longo if you wish to see where we have worked in NY, NJ, PA, CT, MA & RI.

Science Lab Renovations – Still Time To Design & Order Furniture For Summer Delivery

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

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.

Let one of Longo’s laboratory consultants advise on the design of science space, selection of cabinets, counter tops and fume hoods and then manage the installation as your new modern laboratory classroom takes shape. Take a look at some of the school laboratory spaces by Longo:

From Sheldon Laboratory Systems An Article On School Lab Planning…

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Science Lab Planning Guide By Sheldon’s Eddie Adkins

Eddie’s article here is a great find for those educational institutions actively considering laboratory construction projects, or those that have unexpectedly had one thrust upon them…The hard truth is that science lab planning expertise should be sought out by school officials.  Building a science lab is not like a general classroom.  There is a level of coordination and planning required that far exceeds any other “classroom” in a typical K-12 private school building.  Plumbing…Mechanical…Electrical…all of these trades come into play in your lab classroom.  And all must flow together correctly in order to create a safe and educationally sound learning space!

Laboratory construction should not  be viewed as just another classroom – the cost and safety factors dictate a greater attention to detail than a novice can imagine. I would be highly suspicious of a dimissive attitude by an architect I was contracting with for design services, or the general contractor I was soliciting for construction services…

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.  

Please direct all inquiries with regards to laboratory planning, furniture and construction projects to the marketing department at Longo (info@longoinc.com).

Longo offers laboratory planning, budget and full turnkey services to industrial/commercial clients and private schools in New Jersey (Bergen-Passaic-Essex-Hudson-Morris Counties), New York (Westchester-Rockland-Dutchess-Putnam-Orange Counties) and Connecticut (Fairfield County).
