The lab project was a fast-paced design/build effort with R.W. Hyde Construction of Belmont, Mass. Lab safety was a top design priority. Fully grounded Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) flooring was installed to allow technicians to freely move throughout the lab—without the need for tethering. Complex door keying systems and automatic door openers required a high level of collaboration across designers, suppliers, and technicians to ensure the health and safety of the workers.
