Laboratories,
By A Customer
This review is from: Laboratories: A Guide to Planning, Programming, and Design (Hardcover)
This book not only provides state-of-the-art technical information related to laboratory design such as layout, mechanical & electrical systems, air quality, instruments, special purpose labs, etc. but it also deals with information useful in the planning process for a new facility which should be valuable to lab users. I know of no other source for this type of information. This book virtually provides a step-by-step guide for providing a laboratory facility.

The book has it all!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Laboratories: A Guide to Planning, Programming, and Design (Hardcover)
If you are comtemplating building a new lab or will be renovating your existing facility, this book touches upon all topics. It covers everything from how to decide if you should either build your own lab or lease; to where you should locate the facility. I have several technical books, and I found this to be most comprehensive. It also provides various illustrations which will assist engineers and architects in the planning and design of a new lab.

Laboratory Architect,
By Todd Harvey (Huntington, New York USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Laboratories: A Guide to Planning, Programming, and Design (Hardcover)
As an architect who is actively engaged in the planning and design of laboratories I found this book to be an indisposible resource. Mr. Dahan's knowledge of what makes a good lab work comes through on every page.
