Laboratory renovation

●Safety First: Laboratories should adopt a frame structure for convenient and rational layout; the fire resistance rating of the building should not be lower than Class II, and the installation of fire protection facilities should comply with the relevant national building fire protection design codes; the designed seismic fortification category should not be lower than Class B.

●Meeting Laboratory Environmental Requirements: Laboratory flooring materials with special requirements such as cleanliness, pressure gradient, and constant temperature and humidity should meet the requirement of seamless construction; colored glass should not be used for exterior windows to avoid color perception errors during experiments.

●Humanization and Convenience: Laboratory floor plan design should consider the safety and convenience of staff, such as ensuring smooth ventilation, unobstructed escape routes, and avoiding placing instrument tables too close to walls.

●Meeting Special Needs: Laboratory walls should be made of building materials with low surface adsorption and easy cleaning; laboratory floors should be made of corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, non-slip, and easy-to-wash building materials.

●A Reasonable Ventilation System: Laboratories should have a good ventilation system to ensure air circulation and avoid contamination and cross-contamination. At the same time, filtration devices should be provided to filter out harmful substances in the air.

●A complete water supply and drainage system: The water supply and drainage system should meet the needs of the laboratory, providing sufficient water supply and drainage channels. At the same time, attention should be paid to the quality of the water supply to ensure it meets experimental requirements.

●Dust and vibration prevention: For cleanroom laboratories and precision instrument laboratories, special attention should be paid to dust and vibration prevention measures. The floor should be covered with dust-proof materials, and equipment should be stably fixed to reduce the impact of dust and vibration on experiments.

●Environmental protection and energy conservation: Environmentally friendly materials should be selected as much as possible for decoration to reduce environmental pollution. Energy-saving design should also be considered, such as using energy-saving lighting fixtures and installing energy-saving equipment.

●Fire and explosion prevention: The laboratory should adopt effective fire and explosion prevention measures to ensure experimental safety. For example, electrical equipment should meet explosion-proof requirements, and chemical storage areas should have appropriate explosion-proof measures.

●Scientific layout and zoning: The laboratory should be rationally zoned according to functional needs, such as clean areas, contaminated areas, and semi-contaminated areas. There should be clear signage and isolation measures between different areas.

In summary, laboratory decoration is a comprehensive project that requires comprehensive consideration of safety, quality, functionality, and environmental protection. During the renovation process, it is recommended to hire a professional laboratory renovation company or engineering team for design and construction to ensure that the renovation results meet expectations and comply with relevant regulations and standards.
