A lab configuration whereby large or fixed devices such as fume hoods, sinks, dishwashers, columns, and refrigerators are located along the perimeter, creating a spacious "dance floor" in the middle. Benchtops and other furniture that may occupy this open area are modular and mobile rather than fixed and floor-mounted. Services are distributed through an overhead configuration of wings and turrets, making it easy to move high-tech gear around. See also Ballroom.
