[Histonet] New Lab

[Campbell, Tasha M.]

Hello, I am a small GI lab and our facility is moving to a brand new building!  The building has yet to be built so I have full control on how to design my lab.  I will have about 1000-1500 sq ft.  I was just wondering if anyone had any tips for me?  One thing I want to change is the type of flooring.  Right now we have the normal 12 x 12 in tiles that are built in most buildings.  Is there any other type of flooring that is better especially when dealing with the paraffin? And the fact that I am scraping the floors?   I use to work at the local hospital here and they remodeled the lab there and they put vinyl flooring in that is supposed to be made for labs.  Come to find out during the first xylene spill that xylene melts vinyl!  So I know I don't want to go that route.


Thanks!!
