How
to Use the Flinn Scientific |
Lab

| The Flinn Scientific Lab Design
Checklist is a tool to help teachers with planning
renovation and/or construction projects. The checklist
is a collection of items and features that need
to be addressed in the planning of a new science
laboratory. The checklist will become an important
document that should be saved with other lab design
papers. The Lab Design Checklist will: |
- Serve
as a reminder of items and features that should
be included in the design of the laboratory.
|
- Provide
evidence that the teacher’s concerns were
presented to the architect.
|
- Help
to verify that the teacher’s requests
were implemented in the final construction.
|
- Can
become the start of a “punch list”
of items to be corrected before or after construction
is finalized.
|
| The checklist has two columns:
|
- Column
“A” is used to check off each item
discussed with the architect in the planning
stage of a new construction or remodeling project.
|
- Column
“B” is used after the project is
completed to check off all the items that were
included in your new laboratory.
|
| At the bottom of the checklist
space has been provided for the architect and teacher
to sign and date that these lab design issues have
been addressed. |
| Bring
the checklist to every meeting with the architect
to help reinforce that these issues are important
and must not be left out of the design. The list
is by no means complete but it does address the
most important safety issues that should not be
overlooked when planning for a new laboratory. |
