Laboratory Design for New Anatomy Laboratory Results in Successful Project Completion

A laboratory design for a new anatomy, by laboratory architect Bernstein & Associates Architects, has resulted in a successful, completed installation. This anatomy laboratory design, for a university in Connecticut, is now 100% completed and being used by the university’s students for its intended purpose.  See http://bernarch.blogspot.com/2011/11/laboratory-design-for-new-anatomy-laboratory-results.html


Anatomy lab design requires a thorough understanding of the unique needs and challenges of a large space where medical and allied healthcare profession students learn about physiology through actual, physical dissection. Imagine an environment where you have 100 anatomy students, working in one large room, on multiple dissections, and you will start to envision the challenges facing an architect of an anatomy lab.
