Biotechnology Laboratory Design
We understand the unique challenges faced in biotechnology laboratories. Our expertise in creating tailored environments that foster innovation and ensure regulatory compliance sets us apart.
Ensuring Safety & Compliance in Biotechnology Laboratories
Safety within a biotechnology laboratory is paramount due to the potential risks and hazards associated with researching biological organisms. Therefore, your biotechnology laboratory design must comply with the latest safety standards.
At Area Laboratories, we are experienced in developing safe solutions to ensure that your personnel are protected against potential hazards, including dangerous chemicals, biological waste, and pathogenic microorganisms.
We ensure that our biotech labs are designed to seamlessly incorporate robust safety features, ensuring that your lab is fully compliant with the latest health and safety regulations.
Our specialist team has years of experience helping to create innovative biotech lab designs that integrate ventilation systems with HEPA filtration, specialised waste disposal systems, and emergency response features such as safety showers and secure containment zones.
Designing Stable Biotech Labs for Accurate and Reproducible Research
Biotechnological research requires a stable environment to ensure that research is accurate and reproducible. Therefore, it is imperative that the environmental conditions in a biotech lab, such as temperature, light, humidity and airflow, are consistent in order to support high-quality scientific research.
At Area Laboratories, we recognise the importance of maintaining a stable environment for conducting quality research and producing valid results. We will work closely with you to develop a unique and tailored solution, enabling you to focus on innovation and creation.
Our team of specialists understands every aspect, from HVAC systems and HEPA filtration units for maintaining general laboratory environments, to laminar flow cabinets and biosafety cabinets for micro-environments. We will fit out your laboratory design with the technology you need and blend it seamlessly into a workspace that delivers results.

Encouraging Effective Workspaces with Tailored Biotechnology Laboratory Designs
The physical layout of a laboratory can significantly influence whether biotechnological research is conducted efficiently and successfully. For this reason, it is important to design a biotech lab that promotes optimum workflow, supports hybrid workspaces, and provides long-term value.
We understand how the physical layout of a laboratory influences behaviour within the workplace. That is why our experts will consider every element of how your organisation operates, creating a layout that enables your people to do their best work. We design layouts that encourage collaboration and communication, such as utilising open bench layouts, clear sightlines, and shared equipment zones.
We also develop workspaces that promote the well-being of staff. We ensure that the biotechnology labs we design contribute to a positive culture and work environment. This includes incorporating ergonomic laboratory furniture and equipment, to constructing specialist breakout rooms and spaces for staff to relax and recharge.
Biotechnology Lab Design FAQs
What is a biotechnology laboratory?
A biotechnology laboratory is commonly used to conduct research and experiments that involve biological organisms. Research conducted in biotech labs is typically used to create new products or improve existing products, which contribute to advances in fields such as medicine, agriculture, and DNA analysis.
Why is the design of a biotechnology laboratory important?
It is important to carefully consider the design of a biotech laboratory to ensure that the lab adheres to strict safety regulations and ensures that all personnel are able to safely perform their roles within the lab while conducting research. Furthermore, a well-planned and designed laboratory can help to enhance overall efficiency and productivity.
What factors should be considered in biotechnology laboratory design?
There are several factors that need to be considered when designing a biotech lab:
Biosafety and Regulatory Compliance: Safety is fundamental, and biosafety must be considered. This includes meeting the correct Biosafety Level requirements; implementing containment strategies; correctly managing waste disposal; and adhering to safety regulations set by governing bodies.
Effective Workflow: The lab workspace should support a logical design which encourages safety, productivity and collaboration.
- The Environment: It is important to include environmental controls to maintain a stable lab environment, such as temperature controls, light controls and effective air quality and ventilation.
