Chinese International School Laboratory Refurbishment
2001-2003
A case Study of laboratory design
Science Laboratory
• 5 laboratories in five different floors
• Each floor : One Science Laboratory and neighboring Preparation Room
Laboratory Refurbishment
• In 3 phases
• June 2001: Two Chemistry Laboratories; Totally Four ducted fume cupboards in Lab, One in preparation room, adding on existing two mobile fume cupboards
• June 2002: Physics and Biology Laboratory; Replacing one fume cupboard.
• June 2003: Biology Laboratory
Laboratory Refurbishment
• One main contractor for supply and installation of furniture include all the related builders’ work ( Design and build)
• Other supplier: AV equipment, office furniture, network cabling, computer furniture, Standard Tray storage system
Planning and Design
• Layout -Benches: Linear bench space, knee space, services
• Ventilation Fume cupboard, Extractor Fan
• Storage
Evaluation of laboratory and preparation Room
Planning
• Collection of data
• Catalogues from suppliers
• Essential Reference • “Design and Planning Laboratories” CLEAPSS Guide
L14
• “Science Accommodation in Secondary School” DfEE
Planning
• Traditional
• Service pedestal with table
• Peninsula
• Peninsula Octagonal
