Modular Laboratories & Clean Rooms

Providing versatility, optimal security, and reliable hygiene, modular laboratories and clean rooms are used in a wide range of applications, including hospitals, universities, and testing facilities. Featuring state-of-the-art air filtration and climate control systems, modular labs can be constructed of various advanced materials to suit specific needs.

These prefab structures are flexible and economical, making them popular choices in medical research, environmental testing, pharmaceutical, biotech, and animal-housing applications, in particular. Capable of being designed to fit within existing lab or warehouse space, modular laboratories are built off-site, allowing for quick construction and installation with minimum disruption to critical operations.

Built for cleanliness and designed for reliable air quality and flow control, prefab labs feature smooth, impermeable internal surfaces, eliminating the risk of contamination in the form of dust, flakes, or corrosion. And with easily accessible surfaces and no hard-to-reach recesses, these structures are very simple to clean, cutting down on required maintenance time and labor.

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 instance, walls can be constructed from stainless steel, epoxy-coated aluminum, fiber-reinforced plastic, and various other specialty materials that eliminate the risk of mold growth. All-glass construction, in particular, allows for easy personnel observation. Further customizations such as shatter-resistant glass and chemical-resistant flooring 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, air curtains, fume hoods, 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, carpeting, built-in desks, closets, wainscoting, in-swing doors, and special floor coverings. Our engineers work closely with clients to create a layout that works for their unique needs.
