Just jets for safety, for sure.

Many many years ago - we started our first day in a newly built hospital 
histo lab just to realize that we had all the bench top jets we needed, 
i.e., air, gas, (we used a flame to embed with then) vacuum, water - but 
no one put in the 'guts' for any of those features - just the jets - for 
decoration, I suppose.

At my old hospital when designing the lab somehow the blueprints were
flipped and ventalation ducts ended up next to the cutting stations. Because
the contractors wouldn't let us in the lab area until they were finished and
our supervisor at the time didn't insist on inspecting the area, this wasn't
noticed until they told us we could move in. Obviously they had to make a
change before we could move in, costing money and time.

Once construction starts inspect the area.  Make sure you have authority to
make changes after they start.  It is likely that once things start to get
in place you will see problems that are easier to correct in the middle of
the renovation than after the renovation.

Good luck.

Hi, Frank,
         Based on my previous experience with designing a new lab, the one 
thing we didn't check on was the location of the critical power 
outlets.  The electrical people put in the correct number BUT they put them 
all on one wall.  Also, we needed at least one - two more sinks.
         Have fun planning!
         Linda
