The Challenge
Operating in a highly competitive market, the client needed to maximize their experiment throughput without expanding their real estate footprint. Their existing infrastructure was creating bottlenecks and safety concerns.
Limited Workspace
Existing hoods were too compact, leading to disorganized setups and reduced researcher efficiency.
Safety Risks
Confined spaces increased risks of accidental spills and exposure during volatile chemical reactions.
High CAPEX & OPEX
Massive conditioned air exhaust volume resulted in HVAC costs 3-4x higher than standard office spaces.
