Desk Space Planning — Expert Answer
How do you plan desk space for an office adjacent to a laboratory?
Laboratory-adjacent offices need special attention to material selection (chemical resistance, easy cleanability) and sometimes regulatory separation from the lab space. Standard laminate commercial desks work fine in administrative areas adjacent to labs as long as chemicals and specimens don't enter the office area. If the office is within the lab space itself, use chemical-resistant work surfaces and non-porous materials throughout. Comply with your institution's lab safety policies on office placement relative to chemical storage.
