Research processes place exacting requirements on facilities. Each activity and experiment presents its own set of spatial needs. To accommodate these differences in the laboratory pictured above, TMI engineered and built casework to fit repetitive lab modules which readily adapt to the changing needs of the facility. The result is a much more comfortable relationship between researchers and the various types of equipment and apparatus their research requires. This particular lab also exemplifies our understanding of the need to maintain a clean research environment.

Any risk of contamination threatens the success of the research and compromises the validity of the results. We construct all surfaces and seal edging to resist water and chemicals, and to provide an environment which can easily be sanitized and wiped clean.

Every research laboratory has its own requirements. All however, like the one pictured above, require that individual researchers have ample bench space upon which to conduct their work. To further provide a comfortable environment, white epoxy countertops were used. With excellent light reflection, these countertops help create a bright, well-lit space.
This particular lab also illustrates the growing desire to provide research staff with an environment that encourages interaction and the free exchange of ideas. With no upper cabinets to create visual barriers, researchers have a clear line of sight and are free to make eye contact with others across the bench and throughout the room.

Many research laboratories are even creating an interaction area outside of the lab equipped with chairs, tables, a white board, photocopier, and snack station where researchers can congregate, and through chance encounters share information with colleagues who might provide new insights into their work.
