  1. Architectural Services DepartmentHKSAR Laboratory Design for Secondary Schools

  2. To design well serviced and equipped laboratories in an environment which is conclusive to learning Objective in Designing Laboratories

  3. General Arrangement Biology Chemistry Physics Integrated Sciences Design Considerations The following laboratories are normally found in a standard secondary school

  4. General Arrangement Design Considerations

  5. General Arrangement Integrated Science Laboratory Physics Laboratory Biology Laboratory Chemistry Laboratory Design Considerations Laboratories with adjacent preparation rooms

  6. Lighting - 500 lux at worktop level Services Design Considerations

  7. Ventilation Services Mechanical Extract (10 air change per hour) Ceiling Fans Air Conditioning Natural Ventilation Design Considerations

  8. Utility Services Services Design Considerations Water Electricity Gas Sink

  9. Fitted Furniture Design Considerations

  10. The proprietary laboratory furniture has the following advantages: Proprietary Furniture Proven material, good chemical and moisture resistance Factory produced, consistent quality Modular sizes for easy replacement and addition Design Considerations

  11. Materials Furniture Laboratory furniture manufactured from high quality MR MDF (moisture resistance medium density fibre board), laminated and edge banded. Design Considerations

  12. Worktops Easily machined requiring no edging Allowing coved upstands for easier cleaning Acid resistant for chemicals used in schools Design Considerations High Pressure Laminates with phenolic resin laminate core

  13. Large range of sizes Glass Fronted Security Storage Requirements Signage and identification of contents Chemical storage Design Considerations

  14. Based on recommendations in “Fume Cupboards in Schools” U.K.Dept for Education & Employment Fume Cupboards Design Considerations

  15. Key Features Fume Cupboards Worktops are of chemical resistant Trespa. All glass is 6mm toughened safety glass. Glass side panels to enable visibility from all sides of the fume cupboard. Each fume cupboard is provided with 1xtwin RCB protected power socket, cold water and town gas supply. Design Considerations

  16. Key Features Fume Cupboards A constant face velocity of 0.4m/s +/- 30% is maintained at sash opening of 400mm high. Design Considerations

  17. Preventive Safety Measures Safety Use of fume cupboards Purpose designed chemical and chemical waste storage Design Considerations

  18. Reactive Safety Measures Safety Eye wash facilities First Aid Fire extinguishers Design Considerations

  19. Good and efficient design can only be achieved with an accurate description of requirements The feedback and comments of the users is essential for achieving good design Conclusion Thank You
