Modular Laboratories & Clean Rooms

Modular Laboratories & Clean Rooms

Modular laboratories and clean rooms are prefabricated offsite and assembled onsite to create a climate and air-quality controlled space. Choosing a custom modular space can reduce turnaround times and costs compared to traditional building construction. Modular laboratories and clean rooms come with various options, such as chemical-resistant flooring and air-locked doors.

At Speed Space, our modular laboratories and clean rooms can be customized according to construction materials, dimensions, layout, and aesthetic design. Learn more about our modular labs and clean rooms, including the benefits and specifications you can choose from.

Modular Lab Options and Features

Various custom options are available to ensure portable labs meet specific industry requirements as well as national and international standards. For example, walls can be constructed from stainless steel, fiber-reinforced plastic, epoxy-coated aluminum, and other specialty materials that eliminate the risk of mold growth. All-glass construction, in particular, allows for easy personnel observation. Further customizations such as chemical-resistant flooring and shatter-resistant glass are available as well.

Care must also be given to choosing an air filtration system, as proper air handling ensures that air is kept moving throughout the clean room and that no operations are compromised. At Speed Space, we offer positive- and negative-pressure air handling systems, HEPA filtration options, fume hoods, air curtains, both wet and chemical sprinkler systems, as well as air-locked doors and dust containment cabinets. HEPA air handling units can be mounted on the floors or roofs of portable laboratories.

Modular clean room and lab building interiors can be customized with furniture and optimized to accommodate specific lab equipment. Full washroom installations can be installed, and security and alarm systems can also be included as needed. Further options include computer wiring, air purifiers, baseboard heat, built-in desks, carpeting, closets, in-swing doors, wainscoting, and special floor coverings. Our engineers work closely with clients to create a layout that works for their unique needs.

Modular Laboratories from Speed Space

Constructed of stainless steel and other high-performing metals, Speed Space’s modular laboratories are built in state-of-the-art facilities under the supervision of expert engineers. This controlled construction environment — and the speed at which projects can be completed — allows for cost savings of up to 50% when compared to standard structures.

We’ve been creating modular buildings and offices for over 30 years for some of the largest companies in the world, and over 70% of new orders are from satisfied repeat clients. All units can be delivered in as little as three to four weeks from the time of order, and we work with you every step of the way to ensure optimal design for your specific needs.

Benefits of Modular Laboratories and Clean Rooms

Modular laboratories and clean rooms can deliver several advantages:

  • Easy assembly and disassembly: Modular labs and clean rooms can be quickly assembled and disassembled onsite. They can also be easily adjusted and updated as needs change.
  • Effectiveness: A modular laboratory or clean room can be just as effective at providing a space for working with sensitive materials without compromising them as a traditional laboratory or clean room. Modular labs and clean rooms eliminate impurities like moisture and dust, facilitating accurate, efficient work.
  • Affordability: Modular cleanrooms offer cost-effective assembly compared to permanent structures. For instance, modular wall systems cost between $100 and $150 per square foot, approximately ten times less per square foot than a hard wall clean room construction.
  • Customization: A modular clean room can be custom-made to meet particular specifications.
