Basic Utility Distribution Systems. Laboratory Design Notes.
Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Washington, DC.
The scope of facilities required for the conduct of research in health-related sciences is governed by the type of work to be undertaken and the physical characteristics of the building, and can range from a simple office to extremely complex laboratories with numerous utility services. Every laboratory should be designed to accommodate--(1) all immediate and foreseeable functional needs, (2) changes in room arrangement, location of equipment and utility distribution, (3) extreme but isolated changes in utility demand, and (4) unanticipated major utility changes affecting the entire building. Pictorial diagrams illustrate various means of obtaining flexibility of utility layouts. Advantages and disadvantages of each method are listed. (RH)
