Fume Hoods

Innovative Design Ideas for Lab Planning

Published December 2005 Fume hoods can be on the perimeter of the lab or in the center.

Current design for flexible laboratories puts fixed casework and fume hoods at room perimeter. Ceiling or floor mounted supplies at the center of the room with movable tables allows for equipment placement. Some teaching labs have pods of fume hoods in the center of the labs.
