Working with Strategic Spaces, Formaspace developed a custom laboratory furniture proposal for a confidential client in the consumer products industry. The concept integrated laboratory casework, perimeter workstations, island benches, and a chemical fume hood into a cohesive environment designed to support research, testing, and product development. The proposal featured steel-framed laboratory casework with integrated storage, chemical-resistant worksurfaces, utility-ready island benches with built-in power access, sink stations, and specialized storage for laboratory chemicals. The modular design prioritized durability, organization, and flexibility while allowing the laboratory to adapt to evolving testing requirements. Although this remained a conceptual proposal, it showcases Formaspace's expertise in designing highly customized laboratory environments that balance functionality, safety, and long-term adaptability for advanced research facilities.

Formaspace partnered with laboratory dealer Strategic Spaces to furnish the second-floor laboratories at Elm City Bioscience Center, a state-of-the-art life sciences facility in downtown New Haven. Designed to support growing biotechnology companies operating in BSL-1 and BSL-2 environments, the building provides flexible laboratory and office suites within one of Connecticut's fastest-growing research hubs. The laboratory fit-out combines traditional laboratory casework with Formaspace's modular FLX laboratory benching system to create adaptable research environments that can evolve alongside changing scientific workflows. Spacious back-to-back island benches maximize open laboratory space while providing integrated shelving, utility services, and generous work surfaces for collaborative research. The project also included chemical fume hoods, laboratory casework with phenolic resin work surfaces and backsplashes, sinks and plumbing fixtures, wall-mounted storage cabinets, open shelving, pegboards, and additional support furnishings throughout the laboratory suite. Together, these elements create a cohesive environment that balances durability, flexibility, and efficient workflow for modern research teams. With abundant natural light, clean architectural lines, and adaptable laboratory infrastructure, the completed space provides an inviting workplace while supporting the rigorous demands of biotechnology research. The project demonstrates how Formaspace solutions can integrate fixed laboratory casework with flexible benching systems to create high-performance research environments designed for long-term growth.
