Lab Furniture Design

Safety-first design guidance for STEM, chemistry, biology and maker-space laboratory furniture environments.

Guide by FurnEdu

Science and STEM laboratories are the most demanding furniture environment in a school: chemical resistance, heat, impact, services, fume extraction and strict sightlines for supervision all apply at once. These guides cover work-surface materials, bench layouts, service routing and the safety clearances that inspectors check.

They are written for facilities teams and architects specifying new labs as well as for schools upgrading existing science rooms without a full rebuild.
