| Summary |
"Laboratory Design Guide, Second Edition, takes the reader through the complex stages of laboratory design and construction, offering practical advice and detailed examples. Brian Griffin's working manual covers the latest designs for new and evolving laboratory practices and equipment and includes current and future requirements for laboratories." |

"Since the publication of the first edition, new developments in laboratory design have emerged. In the first edition, Brian Griffin predicted that technology would continue to change user needs and that energy efficient design would become increasingly desirable. Both these predictions have materialised and ecologically sustainable design (ESD) now has the most significant effect on laboratory building design. Furthermore, occupational health and safety issues are now enforced by legislation. All these new developments are covered in this second edition, together with eighteen new case studies by international architects and laboratory designers."--BOOK JACKET |
