The Wolfson Laboratories, forming part of a new University of Oxford medical research facility called the Richard Doll Building, has been fitted out with modular furniture and storage systems from the ByrumLabflex range.
The company says its Omega 14 furniture was chosen because of its highly flexible, robust, fully cantilevered design and high quality.
The installation, which was carried out by ByrumLabflex, consists of central service spines supporting modular, height adjustable benches with suspended cupboards, reagent sheves and over-bench cupboards.
Storage cupboards are fitted out with trays and baskets from the ByrumLabflex high density storage system, and other special features include balance tables and semi-circular sink units, cantilevered off the service spines.
The main 600m2 laboratory area is intended primarily for HPLC work and incorporates special HPLC trolleys, giving a high degree of working flexibility for laboratory users.
The Richard Doll Building, sited adjacent to the Churchill Hospital in Oxford, is a unique design that makes the full use of available daylight, as well as artificial light.
It consists predominantly of offices, and the requirement to integrate two laboratory areas therefore set an unusual challenge for architect Nicholas Hare and main contractor HBG.
