Design Decisions That Protect Critical Environments
By integrating contamination control into early design decisions, laboratories can better align human behavior, facility performance, and operational resilience
Casework and Benches as Strategic Infrastructure in Lab Design
Casework and bench systems are increasingly treated as core lab infrastructure rather than interchangeable furnishings, with early design decisions around flexibility, compliance, and right-sizing playing a critical role in determining whether laboratories can adapt efficiently over time or become constrained by costly, hard-to-correct limitations
Webinar Review: Beyond Casework—Designing High-Performance Lab Environments
In this on demand webinar, architect and lab planner Mark Paskanik explains how to design high-performance research facilities by integrating modular planning, automation, and "Good Lab Design" principles to balance technical requirements like vibration control with human-centric needs like wellness and collaboration
Webinar Review: Optimizing Lab Performance Through Casework and Furniture
Lab Design’s free on-demand webinar explores how strategic casework and furniture choices can improve laboratory performance, flexibility, safety, and long-term efficiency through expert insights and real-world design considerations
Lab Design Conference Speaker Profile: Chris Ertl
Chris Ertl will co-lead a roundtable at the 2026 Lab Design Conference focused on selecting lab materials that balance durability with human and environmental health, encouraging peer discussion to develop practical, sustainability-driven strategies
Movable Casework vs. Fixed: A Cost-Benefit Analysis
Mobile benches cost 15 percent more upfront but save 300 percent on the first renovation. We run the numbers.
Integrating Lab Infrastructure: Casework as the Core of Cohesive Laboratory Design
At the 2025 Lab Design Conference in Denver, a presentation on Integrating Lab Infrastructure—Casework Solutions highlighted how coordinated planning between architecture and engineering enhances laboratory flexibility, safety, and long-term operational efficiency
