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:

A well-designed middle or high school science lab inspires student creativity and innovation. State-of-the-art science labs encourage teachers to maximize both classroom space and time.
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.

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.

GENERAL:
Student laboratory table shall be multi-purpose and must accommodate computer technology, ADA accessibility and combination lab/lecture functions. In order to provide these functions, the work surface is adjustable from 30″ to 36″ quickly converting from lecture height to lab height. This must be accomplished without altering sink height or mechanical/electrical connections.
Epoxy resin work surface is curvilinear shaped and measures 96” x 50”. The unique shape of the counter top is provided to eliminate corners from projecting into the aisles. The sink section is cantilevered from main steel understructure and supported by heavy-duty steel assembly. The sink top is used for mounting the sink, water, gas, air or vacuum fixtures. Sink is permanently mounted at 34″ height to comply with ADA Guidelines for Wheelchair Accessibility. All piping is enclosed with contoured metal or wood panels. Counter top to be 1” molded epoxy resin with integral raised marine edge.
Supporting structure is constructed of heavy gauge steel and must provide support to prevent counter top from deflecting. A welded tubular steel U shaped frame attached to the top to provide uniform support of the top surface. Three mechanical lifting legs are attached to a welded steel frame leg structure to provide rigid stability for the legs lifting the top surface.
Under the top surface is mounted a convenient lockable rod storage compartment. All metal parts are finished with powder coat epoxy for maximum chemical resistance.
Incorporated into the steel supporting understructure is a 110 VAC computer controlled synchronized power assist mechanism, which lifts the student work surface quietly and quickly. The student work surface is infinitely adjustable between 30” and 36” by remote control.
The sink support and shroud are also steel construction and powder coated in one of 6 contemporary colors. The sink support provides housing for all the mechanical rough in connections and contains a removable front panel to provide access. The molded epoxy resin sink incorporates a two tiered design to allow ADA accessibility and a deep section to allow for larger lab items access and cleaning. The sink is a two tiered trapezoidal shape where the base of the trapezoid is curved to match the curve of the counter top. The width of the rear is 22.5” wide and the width of the front is 28 .375”. The ADA section of the sink is 4.75” deep and has integrated drain grooves. The rear section is 11.5” deep and the overall length front to back dimension is 22”.
Rear metal panels are included with this unit and enclose the rear leg supports. These panels can also be powder coated to coordinate with the sink and sink shroud.

Purchasing By General Contractor – public/competitively bid project.
The significance of the project does not revolve around the design & specification of a superior laboratory product, but in the architect’s recognition of Sheldon’s superior construction & material usage. When the general contractor attempted to substitute an inferior product made of wood and in lieu of the specified metal base and resin top – the architect REJECTED the submittal.
