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.
